Questions About the Pure Power Mouthguard™
How does the Pure Power Mouthguard™ oral appliance help athletes' performance?
The PPM™ is mouth piece (orthotic device or oral appliance) that you wear to keep your jaw in its optimal position, which is the position it is while at rest. Athletes (professional and amateur) from all over the globe are claiming the PPM™ enhances their strength, flexibility, range of motion, and balance. It enhances these 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.
I have heard that the PPM™ helps TMD. What is TMD or TMJ?
TMD and TMJ are two acronyms for the very common but very painful Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, which results from a misaligned jaw joint. Millions of Americans suffer from TMD go to their medical doctor for relief from the pain, but in actuality, a neuromuscular dentist such as San Antonio's Dr. Brian Hale has specialized training to detect, diagnose, and treat disorders of the jaw joints. By placing the jaw in its optimal position, people suffering with TMD are given relief from a whole host of symptoms including:
- Painful headaches
- Jaw pain
- Facial pain
- Ringing in the ears
- Bruxism (tooth grinding)
- Clicking, popping noises in the jaw
- Shoulder/neck pain
If you live in San Antonio and would like to learn more about the PPM™ and TMD, please contact San Antonio neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Brian Hale today to schedule a thorough evaluation.
