We specialize in orthodontics. Braces are used to assist in aligning and straightening teeth to improve not only appearance but also a person’s bite and overall oral health. Having braces isn’t just about improving your physical smile; it may also have a psychosocial impact that helps improve a patient’s self-confidence.
Orthodontic treatment can correct malocclusions such as overbites, underbites, cross bites, deep bites, crooked teeth, and other imperfections in teeth and jaws. In addition to using orthodontic appliances to offer a straighter smile, orthodontic care can improve airway health and prevent sleep apnea.
Dental technology has improved over the years to include new options to help correct the above issues. A number of techniques and products are available that were not available just a few short years ago. The patient experience has improved, and today’s options are less conspicuous than the full braces that were common in the past.
Types of Braces
Traditional metal braces are still the most popular types of braces as they produce high quality results. Clear Ceramic braces are popular with adults and teenagers who want the results of braces without the look of metal. Your visit will begin with a consultation with the doctor to go over the best alternatives for your orthodontic care. Dr. Palermo will address any questions you may have regarding your treatment and will provide a plan for orthodontic therapy.

Other Treatments We Offer
Limited Adult Alignment
Limited adult alignment focuses on the upper and lower front six teeth. Since the work targets just a few teeth, it is quicker and less expensive than comprehensive orthodontic care.
Oralfacial Orthopedics
Provided before or in tandem with conventional orthodontic treatment, oralfacial orthopedics focuses on the early development of the facial bones. Using his extensive experience, Dr. Palermo can identify abnormal skeletal growth patterns early, allowing him to orthopedically establish foundations for the patient’s oral cavity to help avoid surgical intervention in the future. The earlier abnormal skeletal patterns are diagnosed and addressed, the less long-term issues patients have to face due to abnormal function and growth.
Appliances such as facemasks, various types of maxillary expanders, and other myofunctional appliances can provide customized, comprehensive orthodontic treatment tailored to your child’s needs.
Damon Braces®
Damon Braces® combine tieless braces with high technology arch wires to move teeth faster and more comfortably than traditional braces.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Interceptive orthodontic treatment partners with additional orthodontic treatments to reduce treatment times and to improve overall orthodontic results. A variety of oral appliances are employed to address crowding and other orthodontic issues by creating more room to accommodate tooth and/or jaw alignment.
Temporary Anchorage Device
Temporary anchorage devices, or TADS, are mini-screws that orthodontists place in the mouth to help direct tooth movement. They are useful for situations where the orthodontist wants to move some teeth but keep others in their prior positions.
Miniscrew Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander Device (PED)
Embrace Orthodontics is one of the only orthodontic offices in the Delmar, NY area to offer Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander Devices (PED).
Offering reduced risks and recovery time, MARPE is a non-surgical orthodontic procedure that uses mini-screws to expand the upper jaw to improve breathing and oral health.
Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander
Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE) is an orthodontic procedure that combines surgery and orthodontics to widen the upper jaw and palate. It’s typically performed on adults when other techniques aren’t effective.
Proprietary Teeth Whitening
Many people find themselves unhappy with the color and appearance of their teeth. Stains from food, drink, and lifestyle choices can get in the way of a bright smile. Teeth whitening is an effective method to put the finishing touch on your smile.
Retainers
Once treatment is complete, a retainer is worn for a period of time, usually just at night. The retainer helps maintain the new smile and also allows for small adjustments, if needed, once the braces have been removed.
Your orthodontist will go over the options with you and provide specific instructions on the use of your retainers.
