“…Importantly, fluoride varnish combined with CHX was more effective than fluoride varnish alone. The prevalence of WSLs in patients that seek orthodontic treatment is in the range of 50% to 96% (Geiger et al, 1992;Øgaard et al, 1996;VivaldiRodrigues et al, 2006). Lucchese and Gherlone (2013) showed that the first 6 months are of particular importance in the development of WSLs because the majority of adolescent patients need to adapt their hygienic practices to the requirements of orthodontic therapy.…”

Abstract. Stainless steel is one of the most widely used materials in current orthodontics. Archwires, brackets, bands, ligatures, tubes, among other appliances, are manufactured using different types of this alloy. The first evidence of the use of this alloy in the orthodontic field dates back to the mid-1920s, when it was introduced as a material to manufacture wires. The alloy has ever since gained popularity among orthodontists and its further development has led to its widespread use in today's different orthodontic techniques. Despite being available for more than 80 years, and the fact that most orthodontists use it on a daily basis, there is still a lack of knowledge about the basic principles, composition, and properties of this material by these professionals. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to discuss the main characteristics and properties of stainless steel that are useful in the orthodontic practice for orthodontists to take advantage of this remarkable material.Keywords: stainless steel, orthodontic wires, austenitic, orthodontic brackets. Resumen. El acero inoxidable es uno de los materiales más ampliamente utilizados en la ortodoncia actual. Los arcos de alambre, brackets, bandas, ligaduras, tubos, entre otros aparatos, se fabrican utilizando diferentes tipos de esta aleación. La primera evidencia del uso de esta aleación en el campo de la ortodoncia se remonta a mediados de la década de los veinte cuando se introdujo como un material para fabricar alambres. Desde ese entonces, esta aleación ha ganado popularidad entre los ortodoncistas y su desarrollo posterior ha llevado al uso extendido en las diferentes técnicas de ortodoncia de la actualidad. A pesar de haber estado disponible por más de ochenta años, y del hecho de que la mayoría de los ortodoncistas lo usan a diario, todavía existe un desconocimiento acerca de los principios básicos, la composición y las propiedades de este material por parte de estos profesionales. Por tanto, el objeto de esta revisión de la literatura es discutir las principales características y propiedades del acero inoxidable que son útiles en la práctica de la ortodoncia para que los ortodoncistas se beneficien de este notable material.Palabras clave: acero inoxidable, alambres de ortodoncia, austenítico, brackets de ortodoncia.

“…The results of studies have suggested using enamel protective methods which reduce the dependence on patient compliance in preventing the development of white spot lesions around brackets and at the gingival margins. 17 Proper oral hygiene is more difficult to maintain in patients with lingual brackets, because hygiene control is harder from the lingual than from the buccal side, therefore plaque accumulations, gingivitis and demineralization cannot be detected by the patient. 2 The problems in maintaining oral hygiene in lingual orthodontic patients can be handled by using special prophylactic procedures.…”
