Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM)
Barrie, Ontario - Canada
If you are an athlete, you are probably always on the lookout for any product that can help you perform to your maximum ability. You may be aware that wearing mouthguards or sportsguards can protect your teeth from becoming injured during contact sports. What you may not realize is that one type of customized mouthguard can actually improve your physical performance, regardless of your type of sport.
If you want to gain an advantage over your competition, turn to Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM)-certified cosmetic dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick for a custom-made sports appliance. Top athletes, including Olympic gold medal skier Bode Miller, members of the SuperBowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints and pro golfer Scott McCarron, have used the PPM to enhance their performance naturally and safely.
If you are simply looking for a sportsguard for teeth protection, Dr. Chapnick can also fit you for this as well.
Advantages of Pure Power Mouthguards
The concept for the PPM was developed by a neuromuscular dentist who realized that the simple act of keeping your jaw in proper alignment would help relax your face, jaw, neck and shoulders, thereby improving your:
- Capacity for power and strength
- Posture
- Sense of balance
- Flexibility
- Range of motion
- Stamina
- Flow of oxygen
- Recovery time
Most professional and amateur athletes who wear a PPM report immediate, significant improvement in their sport of choice.
Pure Power Mouthguard Process
No two PPMs are exactly the same. Each plastic oral appliance is made to fit the contours of your teeth and correct specific jaw alignment issues you may have. Dr. Chapnick uses neuromuscular dentistry techniques to identify jaw misalignment using:
- Digital X-rays
- K7 Evaluation System: sonography, electromyography and mandibular screening
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit to relax your temporomandibular jaw joint (TMJ) through gentle electrical pulses
When Dr. Chapnick has determined your proper jaw alignment, he will take an impression of your upper and lower teeth so a custom PPM can be made in dental laboratory.
PPMs: Not Just for Athletes
Patients who suffer from the painful and annoying symptoms of TMJ/TMD can also use a PPM for relief. Neuromuscular dentist Dr. Chapnick has training from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) as well as PPM certification to help you live a better quality of life, free from TMD.
If you suffer from sleep apnea, a common condition that causes people to stop breathing many times a night, Dr. Chapnick may recommend a PPM or a different sleep apnea appliance to provide relief.
