Description:

"The 491-8820 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket is configured for the lower right lateral incisor (L2R), offering a .022 slot, standard torque, and -3/+4 angulation. This setup provides predictable control over crown and root positioning, making it ideal for anterior alignment and midline coordination. The standard torque setting allows for balanced root guidance without overcorrection, supporting symmetrical incisor positioning in both extraction and non-extraction cases. It’s particularly useful in cases where midline accuracy and esthetic harmony are essential, helping clinicians achieve consistent results in lower anterior corrections with minimal biological stress.

As a core component of the Damon passive self-ligating system, this bracket supports light-force, low-friction mechanics that promote biologically efficient tooth movement. The passive design eliminates the need for ligatures, reducing plaque accumulation and improving hygiene. Its rhomboid base enhances placement precision and ensures consistent torque expression, contributing to excellent rotational control and root alignment throughout all treatment phases. These features are especially valuable during the finishing stages, where fine-tuning incisor angulation and midline symmetry is critical for long-term stability and esthetic outcomes.

Constructed from durable, medical-grade stainless steel, the 491-8820 bracket maintains its mechanical integrity and torque performance under extended intraoral conditions. Its low-profile, anatomically contoured design minimizes soft tissue interference and enhances patient comfort—particularly important in the tight interproximal spaces of the lower anterior arch. The polished finish further reduces irritation and improves wearability. The integrated Slide Mechanism allows for smooth, secure archwire changes, reducing chairside time and streamlining clinical workflow. Whether used in early alignment or final detailing, this bracket delivers dependable torque control, comfort, and efficiency—making it a trusted choice for lower incisor management in Damon-based treatment strategies."
