Introduction: Financial concerns deter many people from seeking orthodontic care. Fake braces replicate the real but are not functional and priced at a lower cost. These products available through illegal unregistered merchants, who use social media for advertising their products. This study aimed to analyze Arabic Twitter posts related fake braces. Methods: Tweets were collected API v2 using P...

Precast prestreesed concrete braces are a new method for seismic strength of Concrete Structures which has the following benefits: a) no wet concrete work in construction site b) No bolt or anchorage to the existing frame c) easy to apply d) short construction period e) low construction cost, to evaluate seismic performance of strengthened structure a model consist of existing frame and concret...

We prove a criteria for nilpotency of left braces in terms the $\star$-central series and also discuss Noetherian braces, obtaining some their elementary properties. show that if finitely generated brace $A$ is Smoktunowicz-nilpotent, then additive multiplicative groups are likewise generated.

the seismic performance of hybrid braces composed of steel and shape memory alloy (sma) was investigated in this paper. six types of hybrid braces were used, constituted by sma content of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%. a nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed under el centro earthquake records, with the maximum acceleration of 0.6g and 0.9g. our results showed that the seismic performance, i.e....

Orthodontic treatment typically occurs during early childhood and adolescence but the wearing of dental braces is often associated with sudden changes in eating patterns that prolong treatment into the teenage years. Despite these changes, psychological assessments related to eating disorders during the course of orthodontic treatment are often ignored. Based on the findings of the present case...

Introduction SpineCor and rigid braces have both results testifying their effectiveness in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) treatment: an RCT recently compared the two showing the superiority of rigid braces. Since some years we introduced SpineCor as a treatment for patients at curves between 20 and 30 Cobb degrees to improve the quality of life and reduce rigid bracing. The objective of ...
