What would you think if someone told you that a mouth guard can make you stronger, improve your flexibility and increase your balance? You might think they are crazy, but those are the benefits a Pure Power Mouthguard can provide. Professional and amateur athletes from many sports are praising it, including Manny Ramirez of the Boston Red Sox.

This appliance, derived from neuromuscular dentistry, shows how connected your bite is to the rest of your body. The idea is to find the ideal bite position ( where the muscles and joints are most relaxed ) and build that position into the appliance.

The bite is found using TENS ( Transcutaneous Electro-Neural Stimulation ) to relax the muscles and then jaw tracking with EMGs ( measures muscle activity ) to see, in real time, where the bite is most relaxed. We have found that when a person is in this position, they are better able to use their strength, increase their range of motion, and improve their balance. Background muscle tension is relaxed allowing them to use their body more efficiently.

There are athletes in all of the major professional sports using the Pure Power Mouthguard. One version of the Mouthguard is for sports where tooth protection and concussion resistance is important ( i.e. football, hockey, wrestling, martial arts, etc ) while the other (pictured) is for non-impact sports ( i.e. golf, baseball, gymnastics, etc. )

How is a Pure Power appliance different from a regular ‘boil and bite’ mouth guard?

A regular mouth guard is made of material that is heated up and then the teeth are squeezed into it. This material is not very durable or comfortable. This is why you see many athletes chewing on the guard and taking it out all the time.

Another type of mouth guard is the pressure-heat laminated type. This type fits on the teeth better, but the material shifts the bite so that the muscles have to work harder. We have found that athletes with these ill fitting guards may even perform worse with this type of guard.

The Pure Power Mouthguard is a comfortable custom-fitted appliance, using specialized computer technology to pinpoint and capture your ideal bite position. The power of this device is amazing.

Pure Power Mouthguard for Impact Sports

The Pure Power MouthGuard provides protection as well as enhancing performance. 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 “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.

Your PPM-certified dentist determines 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 mouthguard 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, thus giving you the best gite along with the added benefits of improved balance, and increased upper-body strength.
