Gold braces are the newest addition to our line of brackets. They are stainless steel braces coated with 24 carat gold, which blends in with the colour of the teeth much better than stainless steel. Quite often, we will put ceramic braces on the top teeth and gold braces on the bottom. Gold braces are only available for private patients.
