The best is the first day, and the second, as games and results come at rat-a-tat speed, and bracket fillers start circling correct picks and crossing out wrong ones, hoping the Xs don't extend into the second round, or the third, or — egad — all the way into the Final Four".
They were tested in treated (ion implanted) and untreated edgewise stainless steel brackets, SPEED self-ligating brackets (Strite Industries, Cambridge, ON) and the uniquely designed Synergy (Rocky Mountain Orthodontics, Denver, CO) brackets.
SPEED orthodontic brackets (Strite Industries Cambridge, Ontario, Canada), 0.022″ × 0.028″ slot size, were bonded to the upper first permanent premolars and the upper first permanent molar.
Low friction properties of active self-ligating brackets (SPEED) necessitate the utilization of the correct combination of archwire and bracket.
where μ is a parameter adjusting the convergence speed and the brackets denote truncations.

The wires tested were pulled through a set of multiple nonleveled brackets at a speed of 4 mm per minute over a distance of 5 mm.
If you're taking hand-held H.D.R. photos, though, be sure your shutter is set to a fast speed, burst mode and auto bracketing — and you'll still have to be as steady as possible.
A series of design specifications included simultaneous control of velocity and acceleration of both linear wire position and angular bracket position and high-speed digital data acquisition.
