Description
Mona Mohajeri Tehrani and co-authors review antibacterial coatings for orthodontic wires in this 2025 paper. Fixed braces raise plaque buildup around wires and brackets. That buildup can strip enamel minerals and inflame gums. Coating the wires to kill bacteria is an active research route.
Coating types include metal nanoparticles such as silver, zinc, and titanium compounds. Polymer layers, carbon based films, and bioactive chemicals are also covered. Silver coatings are best studied, thanks to steady ion release and broad action. Light activated titanium coatings work well under the right conditions. Combined coatings can outperform single ones. The review weighs germ killing against safety for mouth tissue and long term durability, and it flags the gap to clinical use.
