“…Consequently, an increasing number of studies have been conducted with the lingual appliance. [1][2][3] An initial disadvantage of the lingual orthodontic technique is that the patient may experience difficulty with phonation, eating, and performing oral hygiene; however, all the symptoms are well tolerated and minimized after the first month of use. [4][5][6] With advancement in the technique, various laboratory protocols have been developed, seeking placement of lingual brackets in a more gingival position of the teeth.…”

Objective: To evaluate the difference in surface roughness of stainless steel archwires of different commercial brands used in lingual orthodontics. Materials and methods:Precontoured arches measuring 0.016″ × 0.022″ were selected of the following brands: Tecnident, Adenta, G&H, Highland Metals Inc., Ormco, Incognito, and Ebraces. Quantitative evaluation of the surface roughness of archwires was performed by means of an atomic force microscope in contact mode. Three surface readouts were taken of each sample, analyzing areas of 20 × 20 μm. Each scan of the samples produced a readout of 512 lines, generating threedimensional images of the wires. The analysis of variance statistical test was applied to prove significant variables (p > 0.05), with H 0 being rejected and H 1 accepted. Results:The Incognito brand showed the lowest surface roughness. The archwires of brands Adenta, Tecnident, Highland, and Ormco showed similar values among them, and all close to these obtained by the Incognito brand. The archwires of the Ebraces brand showed the highest surface roughness, with values being close to those of the G&H Brand. Conclusion:There was a statistical difference in surface roughness of orthodontic archwires among the brands studied.Clinical significance: Companies should pay attention to the quality control of their materials, as these may directly affect the quality of orthodontic treatment.
