Description:

"The 491-8825 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket is specifically designed for the lower left lateral incisor (L2L), featuring a .022 slot, low torque configuration, and -11/+4 angulation. This setup is ideal for torque-sensitive anterior corrections, particularly in cases where root retraction is needed without excessive labial flaring. The low torque setting helps maintain a flatter incisal profile and supports periodontal health by minimizing pressure on the labial bone. It’s especially effective in esthetic-focused treatment plans where subtle root positioning and controlled crown alignment are essential for achieving a natural, harmonious smile.

Utilizing passive self-ligating technology, the bracket reduces friction between the archwire and slot, enabling efficient, low-force movement throughout all phases of treatment. This biologically sensitive approach supports faster, more comfortable tooth movement while reducing the need for frequent adjustments. The rhomboid base enhances bracket positioning precision, ensuring consistent torque delivery and rotational control. This is particularly important in the lower anterior region, where even minor deviations can impact esthetic outcomes. The integrated Slide Mechanism simplifies archwire changes, improving clinical efficiency and reducing chairside time for both clinicians and patients.

Constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the 491-8825 bracket maintains its structural integrity and torque performance under long-term intraoral conditions. Its slim, low-profile contour is anatomically 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 mechanics and contributes to a smooth, predictable treatment experience. It’s a go-to choice for orthodontists managing lower incisor alignment in esthetic-driven, minimally invasive treatment plans that prioritize comfort, control, and long-term stability."
