Gold is back!

Gone are the days when wearing braces was unpleasant. Now, with aesthetically pleasing, elegant gold braces, patients can look great not only after treatment, but during it as well. Gold braces are similar to traditional metal braces in many ways. They are made of stainless steel but are uniquely coated in 24k gold. The gold coating may be considered a more cosmetic option than traditional metal braces. And, the cost of gold braces is surprisingly comparable to most clear braces.

Wearing braces for several months or years doesn’t have to be a dreadful experience. You can flash a confident smile while undergoing treatment.

There are several benefits to using gold braces:

  • Resistant to bacteria: gold doesn’t corrode and is less likely to attract plaque, making it easy for you to keep their braces clean.

  • Non-toxic: 24k gold is non-toxic and less reactive than other metals. If you have any metal allergies, this would be a great option.

  • Same effectiveness as traditional braces: having gold braces does not affect the duration or effectiveness of your treatment. It is a great option for you to add a little glamour or style to your braces.
