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.

Whether you are looking for better balance on the ice, a more fluid and powerful golf swing, a higher vertical leap on the basketball court, or greater results from strength training, the PPM can help you achieve your full potential!

The Science behind PPM
In 90 percent of the population, the lower jaw is not in an optimal position, which causes facial muscles to be unhappy where they are situated. The PPM is based on the concepts of neuromuscular dentistry, a science developed by Dr. Bernard Jankelson that 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 through computerized tracking of your jaw. 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.

Get Your PPM Today!
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.  This first appointment will only take one to two hours. After your custom mouth guard has been fabricated by the lab (approximately one week) your PPM will be fitted during a second visit in just five to ten minutes.

Custom Designed for Your Sport
We can custom design a PPM for your upper or lower teeth, depending on the contact level of your sport.

High-Impact Sports – We recommend an upper PPM for contact sports such as hockey, basketball or football.

Low-Impact Sports – We recommend a lower PPM for sports such as golf, tennis or weight lifting.
