| Abstract (English): | Stainless steel is one of the most widely used materials in current orthodontics. Archwires, brackets, bands, ligatures, tubes, among other appliances, are manufactured using different types of this alloy. The first evidence of the use of this alloy in the orthodontic field dates back to the mid-1920s, when it was introduced as a material to manufacture wires. The alloy has ever since gained popularity among orthodontists and its further development has led to its widespread use in today's different orthodontic techniques. Despite being available for more than 80 years, and the fact that most orthodontists use it on a daily basis, there is still a lack of knowledge about the basic principles, composition, and properties of this material by these professionals. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to discuss the main characteristics and properties of stainless steel that are useful in the orthodontic practice for orthodontists to take advantage of this remarkable material.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El acero inoxidable es uno de los materiales más ampliamente utilizados en la ortodoncia actual. Los arcos de alambre, brackets, bandas, ligaduras, tubos, entre otros aparatos, se fabrican utilizando diferentes tipos de esta aleación. La primera evidencia del uso de esta aleación en el campo de la ortodoncia se remonta a mediados de la década de los veinte cuando se introdujo como un material para fabricar alambres. Desde ese entonces, esta aleación ha ganado popularidad entre los ortodoncistas y su desarrollo posterior ha llevado al uso extendido en las diferentes técnicas de ortodoncia de la actualidad. A pesar de haber estado disponible por más de ochenta años, y del hecho de que la mayoría de los ortodoncistas lo usan a diario, todavía existe un desconocimiento acerca de los principios básicos, la composición y las propiedades de este material por parte de estos profesionales. Por tanto, el objeto de esta revisión de la literatura es discutir las principales características y propiedades del acero inoxidable que son útiles en la práctica de la ortodoncia para que los ortodoncistas se beneficien de este notable material.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | O aço inoxidável é um dos materiais mais largamente empregados na ortodontia atual. Os arcos de arame, aparelhos, bandas, ligaduras, tubos, dentre outros aparelhos, são fabricados com diferentes tipos desta liga. A primeira evidencia do uso desta liga no campo da ortodontia remonta a meados da década dos vinte quando foi introduzido um material para fabricar arames. Desde essa altura, essa liga ganhou popularidade dentre os ortodontistas e seu desenvolvimento subsequente levou a ampliar seu uso nas diferentes técnicas de ortodontia da atualidade. Embora estivesse disponível por mais de 80 anos, e apesar do fato de que a maioria dos ortodontistas utilizam esse material diariamente, ainda existe um desconhecimento sobre os princípios básicos, composição e propriedades deste material por parte destes profissionais. Portanto, o escopo desta revisão da literatura é discutir as principais características e propriedades do aço inoxidável que são benéficas na prática da ortodontia para que os ortodontistas se beneficiem deste notável material.
