The document describes the Gummetal Type II wire, which is a pre-formed wire developed by Dr. Shin Hasegawa to apply uniform active crown lingual torque to the entire upper jaw simultaneously through an "en bloc" technique. The wire comes in a size of 0.018 x 0.022 inches and is intended for use in retracting anterior teeth in cases of Class II Division I malocclusion, severe crowding, or open bite with labially inclined front teeth requiring occlusal plane control.

The "GUMMETAL TYPE Ⅱ" is a wire form developed by Dr. Shin
Hasegawa for the purpose of "en bloc" technic, which is the simultaneous adjustment of the entire dentition, rather than individual tooth movement one step at a time.
Since wire bending to apply uniform active crown lingual torque to
the entire arch requires high skill, it is preformed as a ready-made product with this complicated bending applied by machine.
The "GUMMETAL TYPE Ⅱ" is for upper jaw with wire size .018 x .022.
Item Number GMT2-1822UE Piece of 3
For use in retracting anterior teeth and is applicable for
1. Class II Division I maxillary malocclusion case
2. Severe Class I Crowding case 3. Open bite case with Labioinclination of anterior teeth which requires controlling the occlusal plane Illustrating how wire is shown when inserted only in the posterior teeth
