Follow the guidance for:

Removal

If an examination has been provided and a clasp is removed from a non-orthodontic appliance, it would be part of a band 1 Course of Treatment (CoT).

If the patient attends in pain and removal of the clasp is necessary to resolve this, the treatment is appropriate to Unscheduled Care.

If a clasp is being removed from a recently provided appliance, the removal would be considered part of the original CoT and no additional claim can be made.

Addition

If an examination has been provided and a clasp is added to a non-orthodontic appliance, it would be part of a band 2 CoT.

If a clasp is being added to a recently provided appliance, this addition would be considered part of the original CoT and no additional claim can be made.
