Description:

"The 491-8866 Damon Q2 Metal Bracket is specifically engineered for upper right central incisors (U1R), offering high torque mechanics in a .022 slot with a +22/+5 angulation. This configuration is ideal for complex anterior corrections that demand significant root advancement and torque expression, particularly in the esthetic zone where precision is critical. The high torque setting allows for forward root positioning, which is essential in cases involving deep overbites, retroclined incisors, or smile enhancement procedures. Its design supports optimal crown-root alignment, helping clinicians achieve natural-looking results while maintaining functional occlusion and long-term stability.

As part of the Damon System’s passive self-ligating bracket line, this bracket minimizes friction between the archwire and slot, enabling efficient, biologically gentle tooth movement. The passive design reduces the need for elastomeric ligatures, which can degrade over time and increase friction. The rhomboid base enhances bracket placement accuracy and provides secure torque control, ensuring predictable incisor movement with minimal force loss. This is particularly beneficial in torque-sensitive cases where maintaining control over root positioning is essential. The bracket’s design supports consistent force application, helping to reduce treatment time and improve overall efficiency without compromising patient comfort.

The bracket’s low-profile stainless steel body is contoured to follow the natural anatomy of the tooth, improving comfort and minimizing interference with soft tissues such as the lips and gingiva. Precision machining ensures consistent slot dimensions, which enhances archwire engagement and reduces the risk of unwanted wire play or torque loss. The integrated Slide Mechanism allows for quick and easy wire changes, streamlining adjustment appointments and optimizing chair time. This feature is especially valuable in busy clinical settings where efficiency and patient throughput are priorities. Whether used to correct deep bites, improve smile esthetics, or manage complex anterior torque, this high-torque bracket delivers reliable, patient-friendly results."
