Can You Use a Crown and Space Maintainer Together?

Let’s say that you have a young patient who requires a stainless steel crown  – and needs to maintain arch length after the premature loss of a primary tooth. How do you address both issues? The easiest solution is to use a fixed crown and loop appliance offered by SML dental labs.

Our appliance consists of a crown fused to a space maintainer loop. To prevent the molar from tipping, the space maintainer generally has a rest that seats on the adjacent tooth.

At SML, we offer a network of high quality, highly reliable dental labs across the world – all ready to deliver the custom-made crown and loop appliances your patients need. You can choose to provide a prepared crown (our recommended method) or we can fit a crown to your model.
