Orthodontic device (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spacer

'orthodontic device' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spacer that I've seen before include "One may prevent physical contact" , "One keeping apart" , "Something keeping apart" , "one creates gap" , "Eg, a washer" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the USA Today and the New York Times.
