Abstract
This study was initiated to determine if differences existed in the amount of space occupied by different types and brands of orthodontic bands. Since all prior estimations of banding space were determined by cephalometric headplate measurements or from measuring band materials, a more valid study was indicated. A measurement device was constructed which allowed accurate measurement of the same spot on a human tooth. Actual human teeth were banded and measurements taken.
The results obtained showed no significant difference between the different brands and types of bands as to the space occupied on a tooth.
