PPM — Pure
Power Mouthguard
Did
you know that a sports mouth guard can improve your strength?
By helping to properly align and relax muscles in the face,
the PPM Mouthguard improves muscle recruitment and vertebrae
alignment. The result: improved strength and balance.
In 90 percent of the population, the lower jaw is not in an optimal position,
which causes facial muscles to be out of balance. The PPM is based on
the concepts of neuromuscular dentistry, which incorporates the muscles,
nerves, and supporting structures of the mouth in order to improve jaw
and muscle alignment. Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on the physical
connection between the range of motion of these muscles and joints and
your body posture.
We will determine the best possible jaw position. A TENS (Transcutaneous
Electro Neural Stimulation) machine is used to help relax your muscles,
putting them in their most comfortable position. When your facial muscles
are in this position, your PPM is fitted – thus returning your
muscles to this relaxed position when the mouth guard is worn. When your
jaw is in its optimal position, as it is when wearing your specifically
made PPM, the muscles are no longer stressed. This gives you the best
bite along with the added benefits of improved balance, and increased
upper body strength.
The
PPM Mouthguard is only available through a PPM certified
dentist. During your consultation, we will first determine
if you are a candidate for the PPM. We will then take impressions
of your lower and upper teeth and your optimal bite will
be determined. After your custom mouth guard has been fabricated
your PPM will be fitted during a second visit
We can custom design a PPM for your upper or lower teeth, depending on
the contact level of your sport.
