Metal ion elution, including Cr and Ni from dental orthodontic stainless steel, accounts for some allergies. In this study, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a wire surface is proposed for suppressing such elution. This method involves modifying the stainless steel surface using phosphonic acid containing a long alkyl chain. The uncoated and coated wires are immersed in different acidic solutions, and the supernatant is analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after 1–4 weeks. The results reveal that Cr and Ni ion elution is significantly suppressed by SAM modification. These findings will help in minimizing potential allergens from dental orthodontics.
