In this podcast episode, Stuart Frost, DDS, an orthodontist in private practice at Frost Orthodontics in Mesa, Ariz, joins host Alison Werner to discuss Ormco's Damon Ultima bracket system in an interview sponsored by Ormco. He highlights the benefits and evolution of the Ultima system, emphasizing its 3D control for better finishing and faster treatment times. Frost suggests that transitioning practitioners should prioritize continuing education to adapt to the new system effectively.

Key takeaways:

• Frost explains the benefits of passive self-ligation brackets, particularly the Ultima system's 3D control, which enhances finishing and treatment efficiency.
• The Ultima system, developed by Dr Damon, addresses challenges of passive self-ligation, offering improved rotation and torque control for better results.
• Frost recommends continuing education, such as Ormco's online courses and the upcoming Ormco Forum, for practitioners transitioning to the Ultima system to optimize their proficiency and patient outcomes. OP
