The first step in the process of appliance fabrication is selecting and fitting the bands. A trial and error method is used by most clinicians when selecting bands for an appliance. This is accomplished by estimating the proper size of band needed. The estimation is done by examining the tooth which will be banded and selecting a band from the box of bands which appears to be the appropriate size for that tooth.
