The Pure Power Mouthguard™
The PPM is an orthotic device that is being used by amateur and professional athletes to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and range of motion by aligning the jaw in its optimal position. A misaligned jaw can result in a chronic, painful condition known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD or TMJ). Highly trained neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Brain Hale, in San Antonio is prescribing the PPM to his patients, and they have been experiencing great success with this mouth piece.
Millions of American suffer from TMD; some of the most common symptoms include:
- Jaw pain
- Facial pain
- Jaw tightness
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Clicking, popping noises in the jaw area
- Headaches (migraine-like but not actual migraines)
- Numbness and tingling in the fingers
- Shoulder and neck pain
The PPM achieves increased strength, range of motion, and balance by properly aligning an athlete's head, neck, and jaw muscles. Optimal jaw alignment allows greater oxygen intake, better vertebral alignment, and increased muscle recruitment throughout the athlete's body.
If you are a candidate for the PPM, impressions of your upper and lower teeth will be made while the muscles are relaxed and optimal jaw position is determined. A laboratory will custom-design the PPM to your specifications, and then it is delivered to you at your next appointment.
If you are an athlete in San Antonio and would like to learn more about the Pure Power Mouthguard, please contact Texas neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Brian Hale today to schedule a thorough evaluation.
