The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fluoride ion concentration and plasma immersion ion implantation (PⅢ) treatment on the corrosion behavior of different titanium (Ti)-containing dental orthodontic archwires (including Ni-Ti, Ni-Ti-Cu, Ti-Mo-Zr-Sn, and Ti-Nb alloys) using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization curve measurements in acidic artificial saliva. Different NaP concentrations (of 0%, 0.2%, and 0.5%), simulating the fluoride contents in commercial toothpastes, were added to the artificial saliva. The PⅢ surface treatment was carried out in a mixed Ar/N2 environment with an implantation density of 5×10^17 ions/cm^2. Surface characterization was analyzed using x-ray photoelectron spectrometry. Cyclic potentiodynamic polarization curves showed that the presence of fluoride ions destroyed the protective ability of the TiO2 film on the Ti-containing archwires, thus significantly decreasing the corrosion resistance of the tested alloys. Among the tested Ti-containing archwires, the Ni-Ti and Ni-Ti-Cu archwires were more susceptible to fluoride-enhanced corrosion, while the Ti-Nb archwire showed the lowest susceptibility. Furthermore, the PⅢ surface treatment improved the corrosion resistance of the tested Ti-containing archwires in acidic artificial saliva, by decreasing the corrosion rate and anodic current density.
