Damon Ultima System
Leveraging innovative technologies and phase-based protocols in
a Class 2 case can restore the most valuable asset we have: time!
By Dr. Michael Bicknell
I
n today's rapidly changing world,
using new and emerging technologies
has profoundly changed
how we experience and value time.
These innovations have signifi cantly
aff ected various aspects of our
lives, showcasing that time is our
most precious resource.
A prime example of this can be
seen in the Damon Ultima System,
a cutting-edge technology
in the fi eld of orthodontics. This
system uses a novel wire-bracket
interface that controls teeth in all
three planes of space, allowing
orthodontists to reach the end
result more effi ciently and eff ectively
(Figs. 1 and 2). This system
not only represents a leap forward
in orthodontic treatment but also
highlights how emerging technologies
can make the most of
everyone's time.
By blending the new advancements
with the protocols developed
to make maximum use of the
product's engineering, we have
unlocked unprecedented effi ciency,
connectivity to our patients
and personal empowerment of
our teams in our practice. This
continues to streamline patient
care to deliver the ultimate patient
experience.
The following discussion will
showcase the treatment of a routine
patient with a commonly seen
malocclusion. The goals are to
illustrate how innovative technology
and phase-based treatment
stages can be merged to deliver
revolutionary effi ciency and highly
reproducible aesthetic fi nishes
with fewer wire bends. It will also
show overall ease of treatment
that has the potential to improve

our daily practice lives drastically.
This all occurs by giving back the
most valuable asset orthodontists,
orthodontic teams and our patients
have-time.
Case study
Diagnosis
A 13-year-old male patient presented
with a Class 2 malocclusion
with mild maxillary and mandibular
crowding (Figs. 3a-3d). The facial
profi le was convex with a slightly
retrusive mandible because of a
vertical mandibular pattern. Normal
lip strictures were noted with
slight strain on closure because of
the vertical growth pattern. A constricted
arch form with tapered
buccal segments resulted in
poor smile width and dark buccal
corridors. This, along with multiple
vertical height discrepancies and
