The Mouthguard that Benefits Athletic Performance

If you watched Monday night football this week you may have heard about the revolutionary Pure Power Mouthguard that many New Orleans Saints players are sporting this season. You may be wondering, how can a mouthguard align your spine? How can it be designed to increase balance, strength or even endurance?

To put it simply, the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) by Makkar was designed using the principles of nueromuscular dentistry! Spinal misalignment, muscles and other body mechanics can have an effect on your bite. In turn, the position of your bite can effect how your neck aligns with your spine. The PPM is designed to correct the position of your bite during physical activities, placing the body in proper alignment and allowing you to utilize the engery that was previously spent clenching your teeth.

If your interested in being fitted for a Pure Power Mouthguard, Southcentre Dental Clinic can help you! Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
