Orthodontic appliance system, bonded

Definition

An assembly of custom-made and preformed devices such as metal bands, archwires, springs, screws, power arms and/or a base plate (framework), designed to be applied to the teeth to influence the shape and/or function of the stomatognathic system to correct malocclusions (e.g., underbites, overbites, cross bites, open bites, crooked teeth) and/or other cosmetic and/or structural flaws of teeth and/or jaws. Often referred to as dental braces, it is intended to remain in the oral cavity for the duration of the treatment, and may be periodically adjusted by an orthodontist to effect skeletal and/or dental changes. This is a single-use device.
