Pure Power Mouthguards
Discover the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) at Westlake Dental Arts Can a mouth guard actually enhance sports performance?
The Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) can and many amateur and professional athletes alike are raving about it! Athletes like Manny Ramirez, LA Dodgers, Josh Brown, St. Louis Rams, Michael Redd, Milwaukee Bucks, and Scott McCarron, PGA.
Not every mouth guard can enhance sports performance, but mouth guards made by doctors who practice in neuromuscular dentistry, who know how to manage dental bite, and who know how to relax jaw muscles to put them in a more relaxed position, can align the whole body to perform at its very best. This is exactly what the PPM does.
Most of the population has neuromuscular issues, misalignments such as an overbite or a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problem that cause muscle tension.
When the neck and jaw muscles are tense, the body can't perform at its peak. Strength is lost and balance is diminished. This is how the PPM helps athletes out in their game of choice.
Sometimes these problems are hidden, because people have adapted to them -- 'My neck is sore, my back is sore. I can't lift my arm because it's numb sometimes, I have headaches because of stress, I have bad posture because I work at a computer, but that's OK.' 
Those are all excuses people have, not realizing there are much deeper issues behind it.
The PPM is part of a comprehensive mouth guard system, in which the upper guard protects the teeth, while the bottom guard holds the jaw in optimal position.
In any sport, if you look at athletes before they run a distance or they jump, they stick their tongue out -- subconsciously they're trying to put themselves in the most comfortable position. It's difficult to put yourself in this position doing that, but high-tech mouth guards do it every single time. It's an instant improvement as evident in those who use the PPM.
Normal mouth guards are simply made from dental impressions, and the plastic that they are made of simply buffer the teeth.
The ideal position jaw alignment or "sweet spot" is found using computer technology and flexibility tests, range-of-motion tests, that show how much bite affects performance and overall body alignment. Because, if neck muscles are fighting or compensating for jaw muscles, back muscles are fighting or compensating for neck muscles, and pelvic muscles are fighting or compensating for back muscles -- it's a chain reaction.
High-tech, scientifically-designed mouth guards allow muscles to work simultaneously in harmony instead of some muscles having to work harder to compensate for others, which relaxes muscles in the whole body, allowing athletes to perform 20- to 50-per-cent better.
There are currently over 200 professional athletes using the PPM, from MLB, the NBA, NFL, NHL, and UFC. This doesn't include the list of over 1000 collegiate and amateur athletes who are embracing the PPM phenomenon.
If you are an athlete, looking for a new edge, then you have to get fitted with a PPM. You will notice a difference, there's no doubt about it.
