For Treatment of TMJ

 

For Treatment of Sleep Apnea

There are other options...
Orthondontic treatment is often carried out to provide an improved bite. But orthodontic treatment can also be provided for purely cosmetic reasons - to improve the appearance of your teeth and face. 

Because Dr. Roubal is committed to offering treatments that are designed to suit your individual needs, Omaha's Advanced Dentistry offers a range of orthodontic devices or braces, including traditional, straight wire, viazis (newer, faster moving orthodontic brackets), and tip-edge braces.

Since 1980, Dr. Roubal has extensively studied orthodontics and orthopedics (creating healthy jaw relationships without extractions, jaw surgery or headgear). He has studied with doctors in many major cities in the United States, who have dedicated their lives to research, development, and education in these areas of orthodontic dentistry.

"I can’t even tell they’re there!"
Dr. Roubal is also certified in Invisalign™ technology. Instead of braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, invisible "aligners" to gently move teeth. Invisalign braces are taken out during meals or while brushing your teeth. For many adults, Invisalign is a great choice. Barely visible, they allow you to go on with your life with hardly anyone knowing you are wearing them.

Katrina:
" After my visits with several Omaha orthodontists all of whom gave me the same recommendation--“you need three years of braces and your jaw needs to be broken”--I chose Dr. Roubal as my best hope in solving my joint and headache problems without costly surgery. The grinding and pain in my jaw joint no longer exists and my headaches are gone. I am amazed at how well my teeth look today and I am anxious to see the final results.”

John:
" From the moment I began working with Dr. Roubal and his staff I could tell they were a very professional, dedicated team. What impressed me most is that Dr. Roubal brings so many disciplines together like orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry and state-of-the-art technology. I feel very fortunate to have him as my doctor and would strongly recommend him to anyone. "

Dawn:
"After consulting an orthodontist who recommended having jaw surgery and teeth removed before having braces, I contacted the office of Advanced Dentistry for a second opinion. Upon questioning me, Dr. Roubal came to find out that I had TMJ and that was the cause of my headaches and body pain. He developed a mouth piece (orthopedic phase) for me and after about 3-4 weeks all the pain was gone. I was amazed. I never would have guessed that the pain had originated because of my teeth. I didn’t need to have jaw surgery or any teeth removed and have been in braces now for about 1 year and a half, and they are doing great. I am very grateful to Dr. Roubal and his staff for all they have done for me.”

Advanced orthopedics
Symmetry defines beauty. Orthopedic treatment changes the size, shape, and relationship of the bones of the face and jaws to create symmetry. While orthodontics move teeth, orthopedics work to change jaw position. This type of treatment can also create space or relieve the crowding of teeth by growing bone.

We accomplish this by using removable or bonded dental appliances. Here are just some of the results you can achieve through orthopedics at Advanced Dentistry.

• Create space for teeth to avoid extractions
• Reposition the jaw to create a better front and side-view profile
• Support lips to correct a "sunken or small lip" appearance
• Broaden a smile
• Increase facial height to create a more proportionate, attractive face
• Eliminate the need for jaw surgery

In some cases, adults can use orthopedic appliances. “Part-time wear" appliances are available to correct the crowding or spacing of one or two teeth. Dr. Roubal also uses a clear appliance system to correct minor generalized crowding issues. These appliances need to be worn consistently except for daily cleanings, eating, and very special occasions.

For eligible patients who are committed to wearing their orthopedic appliances constantly and conscientiously, this treatment option offers enormous rewards and awesome results. In young patients, orthopedics can even eliminate the need for braces!

Dr. Roubal:
“ I evaluate and determine the best approach for you. We treat children, adolescents, and adults alike. And, while some cases can be corrected with one approach, other times a combination of approaches is needed.”
