Gold brackets are an esthetic option when patients require orthodontic treatment with braces. Usually made of stainless steel with a plating of gold, these brackets provide a bright appearance and can be an option for patients who might otherwise not say yes to treatment. When considering gold brackets, be sure to look into matching gold archwires. Also make sure the brackets will maintain their gold color throughout the treatment, so the patient enjoys the esthetic benefits the entire time they are wearing braces.
