My Damons had little green and blue dots on them. They came off with the first brushing. They are some kind of mark for the ortho staff...maybe basically saying, "This Side Up."

My Damon brackets had coloured dots on them too. They took most of it off while I was there, but told me that there may be some remaining when I got home and that it was normal and it would come off with brushing. They said it was to tell them which tooth to place the bracket on.
