Features

GUMMETAL wires boast low friction, biocompatibility, ultra-low
Young's modulus, high non-linear elasticity, springiness, and
hysteresis-free performance.

Ultra-Low Young’s Modulus

GUMMETAL is SOFT but STRONG. Easier adaptation of a full sized wire for 3 dimensional control from early phase of treatment is possible while providing optimum orthodontic force that is moderate and continuous, resulting faster teeth movement, alleviating pains.

Ultra High and Non-Linear Elasticity

Super elastic nature of GUMMETAL is one digit higher in elastic deformation compared to general metallic materials. Young’s Modulus changes depending on amount of distortion and performs the Nonlinear behavior, a characteristic similar to GUM or rubber. It does not show work-hardening at all under any kind of hard working, continuous deformation is possible to any desired level. It results no stress change by adjustment while ensuring less breakage in the mouth.

High Spring Back and No Hysteresis

Results to maintain easier control of orthodontic force with high resilience as well as loading force that is the same as unloading force.

Low Friction

Results to efficient teeth movement and suitable for sliding mechanics. The friction between GUMMETAL surface and metal brackets is just half of other Titanium wires.

Biocompatible and Non-Toxic

GUMMETAL is SOFT but STRONG. Easier adaptation of a full sized wire for 3 dimensional control from early phase of treatment is possible while providing optimum orthodontic force that is moderate and continuous, resulting faster teeth movement, alleviating pains.

  • GUMMETAL's low modulus results in minimal force when deformed.

Other Features

  • More Flexibility

    A Young's modulus approximates 40 GPa (i.e., super-low elastic modulus) and tensile strength of approximately 1000 MPa (i.e., super-high-strength). Compared to NiTi, GUMMETAL is more flexible, and its Young's modulus is approximately 85 GPa.

  • Super-Elastic

    GUMMETAL is super-elastic and has a ductility of approximately 10 times (2.5%) greater than that of conventional metals

  • True Elastic Deformation Without Hysteresis

    Unlike NiTi, super-elastic deformation in GUMMETAL is true elastic deformation without hysteresis (i.e., without energy loss between loading and unloading in the stress–strain relation). Its nonlinear elastic properties are not subject to Hook's law

  • No Work-Hardening

    Work-hardening does not occur during the forming process. Its super-elastic properties enable cold deformation up to 99.9% or higher without compensation (super-plastic deformation).

  • Biocompatible and Non-Toxic

    All constituent atomic elements of the alloy are
    biocompatible and non-toxic.

  • Incomparable To Other Titanium Wires

    Compared to other titanium wires, GUMMETAL wire generates approximately half the friction between the archwire and bracket with an appropriately treated surface
