Description:

"The 491-8821 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket is engineered for the lower left lateral incisor (L2L), featuring a .022 slot, standard torque configuration, and -3/+4 angulation. This setup provides balanced torque and root alignment, making it a versatile and reliable choice for routine anterior corrections and midline development. The standard torque setting offers a moderate level of root control, ideal for maintaining natural incisor inclination while achieving precise crown positioning. It’s particularly effective in cases where symmetry and esthetics are key, such as in mild crowding, midline shifts, or when coordinating anterior and posterior segments for a harmonious arch form.

Operating with passive self-ligation, the bracket promotes reduced friction and supports biologically favorable, low-force mechanics. This allows for smoother, more efficient tooth movement with less discomfort and fewer adjustments. The rhomboid contour of the bracket base enhances placement accuracy and ensures consistent torque application throughout all treatment phases. This is especially important during early alignment and finishing, where precise control over root and crown positioning is essential for long-term stability and esthetic outcomes. The integrated Slide Mechanism streamlines archwire changes, improving clinical workflow and reducing chairside time for both clinicians and patients.

Fabricated from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel, the 491-8821 bracket offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability under prolonged intraoral conditions. Its low-profile, anatomically contoured base is designed to fit comfortably in the tight anterior region, minimizing soft tissue interference and enhancing patient comfort. The polished finish further reduces irritation and improves wearability, making it suitable for long-term treatment. Seamlessly compatible with Damon archwire sequences, this bracket supports continuity in biomechanics and contributes to efficient, esthetic-focused treatment strategies. It’s a dependable option for orthodontists seeking consistent torque control, comfort, and precision in lower incisor alignment."
