Description:

"The 491-8830 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket is optimized for lower right canines (L3R), featuring a .022 slot with standard torque and a +7/+5 angulation. This configuration supports dependable crown and root alignment, making it ideal for torque-neutral anterior corrections where balanced movement is key. It provides the control needed for both initial alignment and finishing stages, ensuring that the canine’s root and crown are properly positioned to support functional occlusion and esthetic harmony. This bracket is particularly useful in cases where maintaining symmetry and avoiding overcorrection are essential, such as in non-extraction or mild crowding scenarios.

As part of the Damon Q2 passive self-ligating system, the bracket enables free-sliding archwire engagement, reducing friction and allowing for more efficient, biologically sensitive tooth movement. This low-force approach minimizes patient discomfort and supports faster treatment progression. The rhomboid profile enhances bracket-to-tooth fit, ensuring precise placement and consistent torque expression. This design also improves rotational control, which is critical for achieving predictable results in the lower anterior segment. The integrated Slide Mechanism simplifies archwire changes, reducing chair time and streamlining clinical workflow—an advantage for both clinicians and patients.

Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the 491-8830 bracket offers excellent strength and durability under long-term orthodontic forces. Its low-profile, anatomically contoured base is designed to fit comfortably in the tight interproximal spaces of the lower arch, minimizing soft tissue irritation and enhancing patient comfort. The polished finish further reduces friction and improves wearability, making it suitable for extended treatment durations. With reliable torque stability and a patient-friendly design, this bracket integrates seamlessly into Damon protocols focused on comfort, efficiency, and esthetic outcomes. It’s a dependable choice for clinicians seeking consistent performance in lower canine alignment using standard torque mechanics."
