The phrase "active brackets" is not a standard expression in written English, and its meaning may not be clear without context.
It could potentially be used in technical or programming contexts to refer to brackets that are currently in use or being processed.
Example: "In this code snippet, the active brackets indicate the sections of the code that are currently being executed."
Alternatives: "open brackets" or "current brackets".
Low friction properties of active self-ligating brackets (SPEED) necessitate the utilization of the correct combination of archwire and bracket.
The aim of this study was to compare the deflection force in conventional and thermally activated nickel-titanium (NiTi) wires in passive (Damon Q) and active (Bioquick) self-ligating brackets (SLB) and in conventional brackets (CB) tied by two different methods: elastomeric ligature (EL) and metal ligature (ML).
It is possible that the ML behaves as an active self-ligating bracket, with the difference that it allows less freedom of the wire within the slot, compared to other SLBs.
One of the first reports on the subject was by Blake et al. [ 20], who tested the hypothesis that an active self-ligating bracket with an active clip might induce more EARR; their findings, however, did not confirm that hypothesis.
Generally speaking, at second-order angulations that exceeded the critical angle, brackets with active clips that had a low critical angle had more resistance to sliding than did brackets with active clips that had a higher critical angle.
The aim of this study was to compare the time to initial alignment and extraction space closure using conventional brackets and active and passive self-ligating brackets.
More than half the population (65%) were within the age bracket of active labour force (15 to 60 years).
The metal bound at the active site is mentioned in brackets in the taxon labels.
The SPEED appliance (Strite Industries Ltd., 298 Shepherd Ave., Cambridge, Ontario, N3C 1V1 Canada), invented by Dr. G. Herbert Hanson in the early 1970s, is a miniaturized self-ligating bracket with an active spring clip.
The dose range for the phase 1 trial was chosen to bracket the most active portion (trough) of the U, converting the active dose range from mouse to man using well-established rules of interspecies dose conversion (Freireich et al, 1966).
