Dental attachment placement templates and dental appliance systems. The dental attachment placement templates may include a body configured to position a dental attachment over an attachment site on a surface of a tooth. The body may include an aperture, supports that extend from the body within the aperture, a connection member that connects the dental attachment to the supports, and a contoured surface shaped to register with one or more teeth. The connection member may be integrally formed with the dental attachment to provide a unitary structure. The connection member may be joined to the dental attachment at a breakable single point of connection and being further joined to the supports such that when the single point of connection is broken, the dental attachment is detached from the supports.
