Many kinds of antibacterial coatings have been designed to prevent the adherence of bacteria onto the surface of a fixed orthodontic device of brackets. However, the problems such as weak binding force, undetectable, drug resistance, cytotoxicity and short duration needed to be solved. Thus, it has...
