Pure Power Mouthguards
Serving Pittsburgh, Cranberry, Wexford – Pennsylvania
You may have heard about the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) in connection with professional sports figures. Both Shaquille O’Neal and Terrell Owens have been so impressed and pleased with their performance improvement when wearing their PPMs that they each have their own Signature Series PPM™ line.
The PPM is not an ordinary mouthguard that you might buy in a store. It can only be obtained from a qualified neuromuscular dentist. That is because your bite must first be examined and analyzed before your PPM can be designed, and the only people who examine and treat your bite are neuromuscular dentists.
The Jaw Joints and Your Sports Performance
When you talk, eat, laugh and yawn hundreds of times every day, you are working your two jaw joints. They are in front of the ears – the place where the lower jaw connects to the skull. They are ball-and-socket joints and unlike every other joint in the body, they can move six ways:
- Up and down
- Sideways
- Forward and back
- Pitch, yaw and roll
- Improved balance – arising from better bone alignment, including alignment of the top spinal bone, the atlas, which is affected by misaligned jaw joints
- Faster speed – with correctly aligned bones and better blood flow, your muscles can move with greater speed
- Improved agility – being free of chronic discomfort, your mind can be more alert, your reflexes faster, and your range of motion greater
- Increased strength – your whole body is freed up and more flexible, which enhances your muscle strength
When your two jaw joints are correctly aligned and the lower ball is moving correctly in the upper socket, you have more energy available for speed, strength, and agility. When the jaw joints are misaligned, you are wasting energy on discomfort, inflammation, and a host of painful symptoms.
How the PPM Can Help
If you have an active lifestyle and participate in sports, whether amateur or professional, a customized PPM can not only protect your mouth and teeth – it can also improve your performance. Your PPM will hold your jaw in its correct position, relaxing the jaw muscles, improving blood circulation, giving you more oxygen, and relieving your entire head and shoulders area from stiffness or discomfort.
You will notice:
When you can jump an inch higher, react a split-second faster, and reach a little further, you have a competitive edge. You also have greater physical comfort and more ability to relax when the game is over. Is there anything wrong with that?
The Equipment and Dentist Used by Professionals
Last year, the PPM was famously used by players from the New Orleans Saints in their march to victory in Super Bowl XLIV. As a result, many teams and athletes are looking to use it to improve their own performance.
Locally, a senior PGA pro and athletes from the Steelers and the Penguins have turned to Dr. George to improve their performance with a PPM. Dr. George was also selected to attend the 2010 ESPYs. She met with major athletes and their agents, and performed PPM fittings. To see even more great pictures click here.
