Description:

"The 491-8835 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket is optimized for the lower left canine (L3L), featuring a .022 slot, high torque configuration, and +13/+5 angulation. This setup is specifically engineered for robust anterior root control in torque-intensive cases such as deep bites, canine crowding, or esthetic finishing where precise root positioning is essential. The high torque setting allows for assertive root uprighting and axial correction, helping to establish proper canine guidance and support long-term occlusal stability. This bracket is particularly valuable in cases where the lower canines play a critical role in anchorage, esthetics, or functional occlusion.

As part of the Damon passive self-ligating system, the bracket supports low-friction, light-force mechanics that promote biologically favorable tooth movement. The passive design eliminates the need for elastomeric ties, reducing plaque accumulation and improving hygiene. Its rhomboid base geometry ensures precise bracket placement and enhances torque efficiency, allowing for consistent control during both early alignment and final detailing. The integrated Slide Mechanism simplifies archwire changes, making them faster and more secure, which helps reduce chair time and improve clinical workflow. These features make the bracket a reliable tool for clinicians aiming for precision and efficiency in lower anterior corrections.

Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, the 491-8835 bracket offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical fatigue, ensuring long-term durability and torque integrity throughout treatment. Its low-profile, anatomically contoured base is designed to minimize 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. Fully compatible with Damon’s archwire sequences, this bracket supports assertive root uprighting and crown control while maintaining a minimally invasive, esthetic approach. It’s an ideal choice for orthodontists seeking high-performance torque control with maximum patient comfort and treatment efficiency."
