Description:

"The 491-8815 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket is specifically designed for the lower left central incisor (L1L), featuring a .022 slot, low torque configuration, and -11/+2 angulation. This setup is ideal for anterior cases requiring conservative torque control and subtle root retraction, particularly in patients with thin biotypes or esthetic concerns. The low torque setting helps reduce labial root prominence, supporting a flatter incisal profile and improved periodontal health. It’s especially effective in non-extraction or light-force treatment plans where maintaining natural root inclination and minimizing labial flare are critical for long-term stability and esthetic refinement.

Incorporating passive self-ligating technology, the bracket promotes low-friction, biologically sensitive tooth movement. This allows for efficient alignment using lighter forces, reducing patient discomfort and the need for frequent adjustments. The rhomboid base design enhances bracket placement accuracy and ensures consistent torque delivery, which is essential during the early alignment and finishing stages of treatment. These features contribute to predictable outcomes and improved control over root positioning, particularly in the lower anterior region where space is limited and esthetic demands are high. The integrated Slide Mechanism simplifies archwire engagement, streamlining clinical workflow and reducing chairside time.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant, medical-grade stainless steel, the 491-8815 bracket maintains its structural integrity and torque performance throughout long-term intraoral use. Its low-profile, anatomically contoured base is designed to fit comfortably in tight anterior spaces, minimizing soft tissue irritation and enhancing patient comfort. The polished finish further improves wearability and reduces the risk of gingival inflammation. Seamlessly compatible with Damon archwire sequences, this bracket supports continuity in biomechanics and esthetic-focused treatment strategies. With consistent torque response and biological sensitivity, it’s a dependable choice for orthodontists seeking to deliver stable, comfortable, and visually pleasing lower incisor alignment."
