Description:

"The 491-8842 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket, designed for the lower right first premolar (L4R), features a high torque configuration with a .022 slot and -5/+4 angulation. This setup is engineered to deliver powerful root engagement and precise rotational control, making it especially effective in anchorage-sensitive cases or posterior corrections where torque accuracy is critical. The high torque setting allows for enhanced root positioning, which is essential for maintaining arch coordination and achieving long-term occlusal stability. This bracket is particularly valuable in cases involving lower arch crowding, asymmetrical corrections, or when detailed torque control is needed during finishing.

Integrated into the Damon Q2 passive self-ligating system, the bracket supports light-force, low-friction mechanics that align with biologically favorable treatment protocols. The passive design reduces binding between the archwire and bracket slot, allowing for smoother, more efficient tooth movement. Its rhomboid base geometry ensures precise bracket orientation, which enhances torque effectiveness and rotational stability throughout all treatment phases. This design also supports consistent bracket placement, reducing the likelihood of repositioning and improving overall treatment efficiency. Whether used during initial alignment or final detailing, the bracket provides the control needed for predictable and esthetically pleasing outcomes.

Crafted from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the 491-8842 bracket offers long-term durability and mechanical integrity under the stresses of orthodontic treatment. Its low-profile, anatomically contoured design minimizes soft tissue irritation, which is especially important in the tight confines of the lower arch where contact with cheeks and gingiva is more frequent. The bracket’s polished finish enhances patient comfort and reduces the risk of inflammation or discomfort. Equipped with the Slide Mechanism, it allows for quick and secure archwire changes, streamlining clinical appointments and maintaining alignment integrity. This bracket integrates seamlessly into minimally invasive, esthetic treatment workflows, offering orthodontists the torque precision and patient comfort needed for successful lower arch development."
