Gold Braces in Garden City, NY
Modern braces with a warm gold-tone finish for teens and adults who want their braces to look intentional, planned with in-house 3D imaging and treated by one orthodontist.
5.0 on Google
Braces are part of your smile for many months, and not everyone wants them to blend in or disappear. For some teens and adults, the goal is braces that look like a style choice rather than something to hide. Gold braces give you that look while doing exactly the same work as traditional brackets, so you never trade results for appearance.
At Elite Orthodontics Studio, Dr. David Elsharouny plans and supervises every gold braces case himself. He earned his DDS at the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine and completed advanced training in orthodontics at Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics. Gold is one of three finishes for braces at our Garden City studio, alongside metal and clear ceramic, and every plan starts with CBCT 3D imaging.
How Gold Braces Work
Gold braces are traditional braces with a gold-colored finish. In most systems, the brackets are stainless steel with a gold-tone coating, so they keep the strength of metal braces while changing the look. Dr. Elsharouny can show you the exact brackets we use at your consultation.
Because the mechanics are the same, gold braces can correct the same range of problems as metal braces. The finish changes how they look, not how well they work.
- Gold-tone bracketsSmall brackets with a warm gold finish are bonded to the front of each tooth.
- ArchwireA thin wire runs through the brackets and applies the gentle, continuous force that moves teeth.
- AdjustmentsAt regular visits, Dr. Elsharouny changes or adjusts the wire so movement follows the plan.
- RetainersOnce your teeth reach their final position, retainers hold them there.
Gold vs. Metal vs. Clear Ceramic Braces
All three use the same modern mechanics and treat the same range of cases. The real difference is how they look.

Who Gold Braces Are For
Gold braces suit almost anyone who is a candidate for traditional braces and likes the look.
Are Gold Braces a Good Choice for Teens?
Yes. Teens often like that gold braces feel personal rather than clinical, and because they are fixed, there are no trays to lose or forget.
Can Adults Get Gold Braces?
Yes. Many adults choose gold for a polished, intentional look. If you would rather your braces go unnoticed, clear ceramic braces are the subtler choice.
Do Gold Braces Work as Well as Metal Braces?
Yes. They use the same bracket and wire mechanics, so the finish does not change how your teeth move or how long treatment takes.
Should I Choose Braces or Clear Aligners?
Braces handle complex movements and do not depend on daily wear time. If you want something nearly invisible, compare Invisalign and clear aligners.
Problems Gold Braces Can Correct
Because they work like traditional braces, gold braces can treat a wide range of concerns, including:
- Crowded, overlapping, or rotated teeth
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Overbites and deep bites
- Underbites and crossbites
- Open bites, where front teeth do not meet
- Crowding that returned after earlier treatment
Your exam and 3D imaging show which of these apply to you and how gold braces may address them.

Caring for Your Gold Braces at Home
A few simple habits keep treatment comfortable, on schedule, and looking its best.
The First Few Days
Teeth often feel sore after braces go on and after adjustments. Soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief usually help.
Foods to Skip
Avoid hard and sticky foods like ice, hard candy, popcorn kernels, and caramel, and cut crunchy foods into small bites.
Brushing and Flossing
Brush after meals and clean around each bracket. Floss threaders make it easier to reach under the wire.
Loose Bracket or Poking Wire
Cover the spot with orthodontic wax and call the studio. We will tell you whether it needs a visit right away.

Are gold braces made of real gold?
In most systems, gold braces are stainless steel brackets with a gold-tone coating, which keeps the strength of metal braces while changing the look. Dr. Elsharouny can show you the exact brackets we use at your consultation.
Do gold braces work as well as metal braces?
Yes. Gold braces use the same bracket and wire mechanics as metal braces, so the finish does not change how your teeth move or how long treatment takes.
How long does treatment with gold braces take?
Most comprehensive cases take 18 to 24 months, and many limited cases finish in under a year. Your exam and 3D imaging give you a personalized estimate before treatment begins.
Do gold braces cost more than metal braces?
The finish you choose is one factor in your fee, along with the complexity and length of treatment. You receive an exact, all-in figure with insurance verified at your free consultation.
Can adults get gold braces?
Yes. Teeth can move at any age when the gums and bone are healthy, and many adults choose gold for a polished, intentional look.
Will I need a retainer after gold braces?
Yes. Teeth tend to drift after braces come off, and a retainer holds them in their new position. We show you how and when to wear it.
