Pure Power Mouthguard News

Check out the August Issue of Men’s Journal.  There is a 3 page article on how the PPM works and the athletes that are using it.  Dr. Mike also gets metioned in it.

The author of the story came to our office in January to get fitted for a PPM.  Over the last few months he has been using it and interviewing other users in order to get a great story.

I will scan the article soon and post it here.

The Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints and the Gold medal winning Skier Bode Miller both use the Pure Power Mouthguard to help them achieve their success. Bode Miller has been an avid user of the Pure Power Mouthguard for the last couple of years and NJ dentist Dr. Mike had the privilege of fitting him for a new set at the end of 2009.
“Because of Bode’s previous experience with the PPM, we were able to really fine tune his bite position while relating it to his specific sport.”, Says Dr. Mike.”We took the bite while reproducing skiing stances. This will really help him fine tune his skiing position”
With the PPM being involved with the New Orleans Saints and with Bode Miller, PPM is really starting to get known as the best sports enhancing appliance.

Bode gets the gold

Tracy Porter, who had the game winning interception, was recently on Mike and Mike in the Morning talking about his experience at the Super Bowl and also his experience with NJ dentist Michael Bixby’s PPM mouthguard.

Dr. Mike was one of the 6 doctors that went down to New Orleans to fit the Saints players.

You may have heard on last night’s Monday Night Football John Gruden talking about the Saints new mouthpiece. Well now that it’s official, I can talk more about our experience.
A group of about 5 PPM Certified dentist from all over the country met in September to fit the New Orleans Saints. It was a great experience. As with anything, they were at first skeptical, but after we fit them and went through a series of tests they were really excited. I noticed some of the players that originally didn’t want to get fitted were lining up later to start the process. The players were great and really could see how the differences can help them in the game.
The more PPMs I do, the more see how minor changes in bite position can dramatically effect performance. These players know their bodies so well. It is great using the computer equipment to help the athletes see where their bite is the best. No guessing.

Here are a few pictures from the event.
I’ll post some more in the near future.
In the meantime, if you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail me.
Thanks
Dr. Mike
