  • Orthodontic band forming method and apparatus
    Patent number: 4015333
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing an orthodontic band shaped to an individual tooth is disclosed wherein a tooth replica is encircled by the band and optionally an annular conducting member surrounds the band. The band is shaped to the tooth by rapidly changing a magnetic field within the band and annular member to induce a current flow which cooperates with the magnetic field to force the band radially inwardly into close conformity with the replica. The replica and annular member are then separated from the band and the band is applied to the original tooth.
