TMJ Treatment in Omaha, Nebraska

Suffering from constant headaches, facial pain, jaw pain, and other excruciating symptoms is no way to live your life. Even though symptoms may come and go, they always come back and take away from your quality of life. The chronic pain causes patients with TMJ disorder to seek out pain relief through a variety of methods that only offer temporary relief, such as medication (pain pills), acupuncture, and other alternative therapies.

Until the root cause of TMJ disorder is pinpointed and correct, TMJ symptoms will never go away permanently. The TMJ treatment that Dr. Roubal offers locates the imbalance within your bite which then allows him to actually correct the disorder, not just treat the symptoms.

Why The Bite Is Important

TMJ Disorder is usually caused by an imbalance or misalignment within the jaw joint. This imbalance is usually caused by a “bad bite”. In a patient with a bad bite, the teeth come together in a way that torques the jaw joint so that it is not in its ideal location. Until the jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint or TMJ) can finally rest in its ideal location in three-dimensional space, the jaw pain, headaches, and other painful symptoms will continue. The key to treating TMJ is to work with a qualified neuromuscular dentist who has experience in successfully correcting a bad bite.

While there are different methods and technologies that we can use to treat TMJ disorder, we are the first office in Omaha to offer the extremely advanced DNA Appliance for TMJ treatment.

The DNA Appliance

While brackets, braces, and other types of orthodontic appliances can be worn as a way to correct your bite, the DNA Appliance goes further in treating TMJ. Known as an epigenetic orthodontic appliance, the DNA appliance doesn’t just move the teeth into a new and more ideal position. It actually grows new bone in the jaws that allows the teeth to move into their correct position.
