Samples were pre-immersed in artificial saliva for 24 h, then exposed for 1.5 h to the respective solutions, simulating 30 days of clinical use. Surface roughness (Rz) was measured before and after immersion using a Marsurf PS10 profilometer. Statistical analysis included Student\u2019s t-test and ANOVA (p &lt; 0.05).\nResults: Both mouthwashes significantly increased surface roughness compared to baseline (p &lt; 0.05). Mean Rz values rose from 0.798 to 2.208 \u00b5m in the Encident Brackets\u00ae group and from 0.782 to 2.085 \u00b5m in the BambooSmile\u00ae group. However, no significant differences were observed between the two experimental groups after treatment (p &gt; 0.05).\nConclusions: Exposure to both conventional and natural mouthwashes resulted in significant surface alterations of NiTi archwires. Although Encident Brackets\u00ae produced slightly higher roughness values, its effect was comparable to BambooSmile\u00ae. These findings highlight the importance of considering mouthwash composition during orthodontic treatment, as increased surface roughness may compromise sliding mechanics, favor bacterial adhesion, and affect periodontal health. Further in vivo studies are recommended to validate these results under clinical conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/biid.v12.45036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,17]],"date-time":"2025-12-17T11:54:56Z","timestamp":1765972496000},"page":"210-215","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative analysis of fluoride-based and natural mouthwashes on NiTi orthodontic wire surface integrity"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Gabriela Mishell","family":"Salinas S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marjory Elizabeth","family":"Vaca Zapata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mauricio","family":"Aguirre Balseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karina Maria Salvatore","family":"Freitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stalin Wladimir","family":"Tamami Tualombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"135978","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hassan R, Aslam Khan MU, Abdullah AM, Abd Razak SI.
