The Orthodontic Banding Course trains the individual to recognize band differences, know all band components and identification markings, recognize a well-fitting band and know when a band is cemented correctly. It also teaches the individual to fit bands to all posterior teeth, prepare bands for cementation, and to cement bands correctly with different types of cements.
 

The individual will be able to conduct band-failure charting to determine the factors that are contributing to band failure using a Practice Management Spreadsheet Program provided in the course.
