Recent breakthroughs in surface coating technology have brought various antimicrobial techniques designed to diminish bacterial adherence and biofilm formation on orthodontic components. This study thoroughly examines many types of antibacterial coatings, including metallic nanoparticles (such as silver, zinc, and titanium), polymeric layers, carbon-based materials, and bioactive chemicals, emphasizing their modes of action, microbial targets, and therapeutic significance. Silver-based coatings are among the most thoroughly researched due to their continuous ion release and broad-spectrum antibacterial effectiveness. Photocatalytic titanium dioxide and synergistic composite coatings demonstrate promising outcomes under particular activation conditions. The review examines biocompatibility concerns, long-term durability, and the limitations of existing methodologies, while suggesting future research avenues to connect laboratory innovations with clinical applications. The surface modification of orthodontic equipment offers a practical approach to reducing oral health hazards associated with therapy and improving patient outcomes.  \n* Ali ebrahimi [Mehrtash236933@yahoo.com](Mehrtash236933@yahoo.com)  \n* Sina hamzehzadeh [Hamzehzadehsina.shz@yahoo.com](Hamzehzadehsina.shz@yahoo.com)  \n1 Researcher at Craniomaxillofacial Research Center, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran  \n2 School of Medicine, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran  \n3 Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, 00014, Helsinki, Finland  \n4 Researcher at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran  \n5 Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland  \n6 College of Pharmacy, The Islamic University, Najaf, Iraq  \n7 Department of Medical Analysis, Medical Laboratory Technique College, The Islamic University of Al Diwaniyah, Al Diwaniyah, Iraq  \n8 Department of Medical Analysis, Medical Laboratory Technique College, The Islamic University of Babylon, Babylon, Iraq  \n9 Centre for Research Impact & Outcome, Chitkara University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Chitkara University, Rajpura, Punjab, India  \n10 Department of Biomedical, Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India  \n11 School of Medicine, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran  \nGraphical Abstract  \nHighlights  \n1.
