This literature review investigated a recently developed orthodontic wire composed of a β-titanium alloy known as "Gum Metal" and compared its properties with those of conventional wires. The attractive properties of Gum Metal include an ultra-low Young's modulus, non-linear elastic behavior, ultra-high strength, high yield strain, high ductility, and superplastic deformability without work hardening at room temperature. The unique multifunctional characteristics of this new orthodontic wire make it almost ideal for orthodontic applications. The results of this literature review indicate the strong potential use of Gum Metal wire for improving and enhancing the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment.
本文献综述研究了一种最近开发的正畸丝，由一种称为“Gum Metal”的β钛合金组成，并将其性能与传统正畸丝进行了比较。Gum Metal 的吸引人特性包括超低杨氏模量、非线性弹性行为、超高强度、高屈服应变、高延展性和超塑性变形，在室温下没有加工硬化。这种新型正畸丝的独特多功能特性使其几乎成为正畸应用的理想选择。本文献综述的结果表明，Gum Metal 丝具有很强的潜在用途，可以改善和增强正畸治疗的效果。
