Description:

"The 491-8834 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket, designed for the lower right canine (L3R), features a high torque configuration with a .022 slot and +13/+5 angulation. This setup is ideal for torque-intensive cases requiring precise anterior root control and reliable crown orientation. The high torque setting allows for assertive root uprighting, which is essential in deep bite correction, canine crowding, or esthetic finishing where root prominence and axial alignment are critical. This bracket plays a key role in establishing proper canine guidance and contributes to long-term occlusal stability and smile symmetry in both functional and cosmetic treatment plans.

As part of the Damon passive self-ligating system, the bracket supports low-friction, biologically favorable tooth movement using light-force mechanics. The passive design eliminates the need for ligatures, reducing plaque accumulation and improving hygiene. Its rhomboid base geometry ensures precise bracket placement and enhances torque expression across Damon archwire sequences, supporting consistent control throughout all treatment phases. The integrated Slide Mechanism simplifies archwire engagement, allowing for faster, more secure wire changes that reduce chairside time and improve clinical efficiency. These features make the bracket a reliable tool for clinicians aiming to deliver high-precision results with minimal patient discomfort.

Constructed from strong, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the 491-8834 bracket is built to withstand the mechanical demands of long-term orthodontic treatment. Its low-profile, anatomically contoured design minimizes soft tissue interference, which is especially important in the tight interproximal spaces of the lower arch. This thoughtful design enhances patient comfort and wearability, even in crowded or sensitive areas. The bracket integrates seamlessly into Damon’s minimally invasive treatment philosophy, supporting efficient anterior alignment and torque control. Whether addressing canine rotations, deep bite correction, or esthetic detailing, this bracket delivers dependable performance and contributes to confident, biologically sound outcomes."
