I have been carefully following the development of the Pure Power Mouthguard. A colleague in Nova Scotia developed the PPM using the same principles that I use in my practice to treat TMJ and to rebuild entire mouths. I was initially hesitant to get involved because everything PPM is doing is brand new--except that the scientific principles used as the basis to make the PPM are 30 years old, FDA approved, and well documented.
In measuring actual athletic performance it turns out that some mouthguards significantly decrease athletic performance, and going without a mouthguard limits athletic performance. Initial studies on the Pure Power Mouthguard impressed me so much that I asked to be the Bay Area's provider of PPM's. By simply wearing the Pure Power Mouthguard, proper jaw alignment and balance are achieved that measurably increase athletic performance.
This is not a gimmick--it is for real and 100% safe and legal for athletics.
The Pure Power Mouthguard is all the buzz among professional athletes, including Manny Ramirez and many others. To read more about the PPM, go to: http://www.ppmmouthguard.com/
By the way, if you are involved in a non-contact sport and think you don't need a mouthguard, think again. PPM also makes a very low profile device that fits on the lower teeth to achieve the same results without the protective features of an upper mouthguard.
Pure Power Mouthguards are ideal for athletes who wants to increase performance, whether they are professional, student or recreational. There is a small percentage of athletes that will not see improvement from a PPM so to find out if PPM will work for you or your athlete, please call my office to schedule a consultation.
