TMJ Dysfunction and Orofacial Pain (ATM/DTM)
The clinic's primary specialty is the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint (ATM) dysfunction and orofacial pain. Dr. Rover addresses the full spectrum of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding musculature, including joint pain and clicking sounds, limited or painful mouth opening, chronic headaches of dental origin, and diffuse orofacial discomfort. Treatment protocols draw on Dr. Rover's international training at the Argentine Neurophysiological School, combining functional analysis with targeted interventions to reduce symptoms and restore jaw function.
Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics
The clinic offers a comprehensive orthodontic service covering all stages of patient development:
- Functional Jaw Orthopedics: Custom mobile orthopedic devices designed to guide maxillary growth and correct skeletal discrepancies in growing patients โ an area closely related to Dr. Rover's TMJ and facial orthopedics expertise.
- Fixed Orthodontics: Traditional metal bracket systems for reliable correction of complex alignment and bite cases.
- Aesthetic Fixed Appliances: Porcelain or transparent brackets offering a more discreet treatment option while maintaining the predictability of fixed orthodontic treatment.
- Three-Dimensional Fixed Appliances: Advanced technology enabling controlled tooth movement across vertical, horizontal, and transversal planes simultaneously โ suitable for demanding clinical cases.

Sleep Medicine Dentistry (Medicina do Sono Odontologica)
As the first certified dental sleep specialist in Cascavel, Dr. Rover offers evidence-based dental treatments for obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring.

Laser technology is used across various treatments at the clinic for pain management, reduction of inflammation, and acceleration of tissue healing โ a complement to both the TMJ treatments and other clinical procedures.
