- Four solid walls with optimized slot depths — including tighter
tolerances on lower anterior brackets — offer improved rotation control
and fast, low-friction tooth movement for superior finishing.
- Stainless steel 17-4 metal-injection-molded construction provides
exceptional strength and durability over the course of treatment.

Novel Treatment Flexibility
- Horizontal and vertical slots provide greater versatility for
treatment involving high cuspids, blocked-out laterals, and more.
Incorporate drop-in hooks, piggyback wires, or TAD auxiliaries — all
while progressing through the Damon archwire sequence regardless of
round or rectangular wires.

Reduce Treatment Time
Damon Q's auxiliary slots can incorporate sectional
wires to quickly align teeth — such as blocked-out laterals — while
maintaining the patient's natural wire sequence. These novel features
can reduce the number of appointments and shorten overall treatment
time.

Precision Bracket Placement
- Removable positioning gauge, rhomboid-shaped bracket, and pad, and vertical scribe line guide precision bracket placement for smile arc enhancement.
- Each positioning gauge is color-coded to aid in bracket selection and torque value identification.
- Green: Low Torque
- Blue: Standard Torque
- Red: Super Torque

Ideal Tooth Inclination
- Variable torque brackets introduce torque
correction gradually, beginning with the first light rectangular wires,
to achieve optimal occlusal and esthetic results.
- Minimize the guesswork of adding torque to wires later in treatment.
- Allow roots to begin uprighting early during the rectangular wire-leveling phase.
- Maintain anterior torque during major mechanics, avoiding
round-tripping teeth, while maintaining posterior torque during
maxillary width increases and bone adaptation.
There is +/- 10.5° of wire play between a .019 x .025 wire and the
.022 x .028 lumen of the super-torque (+11°) Damon Q upper cuspid
bracket for expressed torque of approximately 0.5°.
