Attachment To Guide An Impacted Tooth

North Carolina rates for HCPCS D7283

A small bracket or button is fixed to a tooth that is stuck under the gum or bone, and a fine chain or wire is attached to it so the tooth can be drawn gradually into its proper place. It is usually done for an eye tooth that has failed to come through on its own, and the pull comes from braces or elastics fitted by the orthodontist. Uncovering the buried tooth so the attachment can be bonded to it is a separate step.
