The design of brackets utilized in the Damon System. These low-profile brackets are characterized by the absence of the need for auxiliary A-lastics and steel ties (as in conventional brackets) or clips within the brackets (as in active self-ligating brackets) to hold the archwire in place. The archwire in a passive self-ligating bracket is held in place by a labial sliding mechanism. The archwire is, therefore, not bound against the base of the bracket, and friction is minimized. The lumen of the slot is effectively larger, allowing the archwire to freely correct rotations as well as level and align well within the biological limits. The resultant effect is to provide the greater movement with less force applied. By taking advantage of this unique feature, the goal is to apply biologic forces to the teeth that do not negatively impact the vascular supply in the perio...
