Interesting. I thought that the "orthodontic style or even more so the style of the NUK dummies is what is widely recognised to be the least damaging.I think a lot of speech therapists reccomend the 'cherry' style as it touches all the sides of the bubs mouth.
You know what, the style of dummy might not be your choice. DD had a really strong sucking instinct. But HATED all dummies I tried on her. Just wanted my boob instead. Well, until I tried a NUK dummy (so only started using a dummy at 6 months of age). I know of others that hate the NUK style and much prefer the cherry style.
My advise would be to buy a few different ones and try them out to see what your bub takes to, if any. Don't buy up big on something your baby might not like. Same goes for bottle teats. I had to try so many different styles until DD actually took to one. It was really tough. I had trouble BFing in the beginning cause I had flat nipples (after 19 months of BFing they are anything but flat) and it was so frustrating when she rejected the bottle, too. Until my midwife bought me some other ones to try, which DD didn't mind.
