Composition and in vitro corrosion of orthodontic appliances.
TLDR
Analysis of different types of alloys used in orthodontics found the largest amount of nickel and chromium were leached out from the face-bows and the least amount from the arch wires, and Soldered stainless steel face- Bows seemed to be very susceptible to corrosion.About:

In Vivo Aging of Orthodontic Alloys: Implications for Corrosion Potential, Nickel Release, and Biocompatibility
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the issue of nickel release, based on three perspectives: its biologic effects, the methods used for studying its release, and nickel-induced hypersensitivity in orthodontic patients is presented.

Immune response to synthetic materials. Sensitization of patients receiving orthopaedic implants.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that only 5% of the patients developed a severe reaction to at least 1 of the antigens, while the other 95% of patients had no known prior metal allergies or exposure.

Nickel allergy in adolescents in relation to orthodontic treatment and piercing of ears
TL;DR: Investigating the frequency of nickel hypersensitivity in adolescents in relation to sex, onset, duration and type of orthodontic treatment, and the age at which ears were pierced suggests that treatment with nickel-containing metallic orthodentic appliances before sensitization to nickel (ear piercing) may have reduced the frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corrosion of orthodontic appliances--should we care?
TL;DR: The purpose in this article was to consider the literature to date with regard to potential mechanical, clinical, and health implications of orthodontic corrosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel and Chromium Levels in the Saliva and Serum of Patients With Fixed Orthodontic Appliances
TL;DR: It can be concluded that fixed orthodontic appliances release measurable amount of nickel and chromium when placed in the mouth, but this increase doesn't reach toxic levels for nickel and Chromium in the saliva and serum.

TL;DR: The purpose of this experiment was to measure the amounts of nickel and chromium released from a simulated orthodontic appliance incubated in 0.05 percent sodium chloride solution, and the average release was 40 micrograms nickel and 36 microgramS chromium per day for a full-mouth appliance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupational health problems and adverse patient reactions in orthodontics
TL;DR: The nature and frequency of adverse reactions to materials and procedures among orthodontists and their patients was studied, with acrylic monomer topping the list.
