The interaction between acidic fluoride solution and beta titanium alloy was investigated to explore the changes that occur in beta titanium alloy by fluoride-containing acetic acid solutions. For this, alloy crystal structure, tensile strength, and elements released from the alloy wires were determined using four solutions (0.05%/pH 6, 0.05%/pH 4, 0.2%/pH 6, and 0.2%/pH 4) for 1 or 3 days. The immersed wire did not form any identifiable new crystal structure compared with the as-received wire. The tensile strength of the immersed wires was significantly reduced compared to the as-received wires in the test solutions if the period of immersion increased from as-received to 3 days. The fractured area of the immersed wire was reduced compared to the as-received one. The dimple pattern at the inner part and a cup-cone morphology at the outer part of the fractured wires were similar in both as-received and immersed wires. After a 3-day immersion, the amount of the released Ti and Mo has much increased for higher NaF concentration and lower pH value. During the long-period orthodontic treatment, both patient and clinical doctor should carefully use the fluoride-containing products to minimize unexpected damage on orthodontic wires.
