Description:

"The 866-4014 Damon™ Opening Instrument is a specialized orthodontic tool designed for safe and efficient opening of Damon™ self-ligating brackets, including both metal and clear varieties. Precision-engineered to match the contours of the Damon bracket system, this instrument allows for controlled access to the sliding mechanism without compromising the integrity of the bracket or causing patient discomfort.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the instrument features a fine, angled tip that securely engages the bracket door to allow smooth and gentle opening. Its low-profile design ensures accurate access even in tight or posterior areas of the mouth, helping clinicians perform wire changes quickly and efficiently.
Unlike traditional pliers, the Damon Opening Instrument is designed specifically for single-handed use, allowing the clinician to maintain full control during adjustments while improving workflow and reducing chair time. Its lightweight and ergonomic handle enhances operator comfort and minimizes hand fatigue during repeated use throughout the day.
This tool is especially useful in practices utilizing the Damon passive self-ligating system, where maintaining the bracket’s structure is critical to ensuring uninterrupted force delivery and treatment progression. Using improper tools to open brackets can lead to ceramic fractures or distorted components, but the 866-4014 instrument eliminates that risk by providing a custom-fit solution.
Whether you're treating with metal or aesthetic clear brackets, the Damon Opening Instrument delivers the precision and reliability you need to maintain treatment efficiency and appliance integrity. It is a must-have for every orthodontic setup that uses the Damon system, offering consistent performance, patient safety, and clinical ease."
