Abstract: In order to improve various performance of the orthodontic archwire to satisfy the needs of clinicians, the domestic and foreign scholars try diversified surface treatment technologies for metallic biomaterials to realize the archwire surface modification, hoping to reduce the friction coefficient and reach good corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and aesthetics as well.In this paper, the development of surface modification techniques for orthodontic archwires are reviewed,also including the research progress in surface modification methods for orthodontic archwires.
