In an extremely large part of the population (an estimated 90%), the lower jaw is not in its most comfortable, optimal position. When your jaw is not in its optimal position, it is considered to be out of alignment. A misaligned “bite” is referred to as “malocclusion.” Malocclusion, as those of you who suffer from this know very well, causes pain and muscle tension in the jaw and surrounding area.
To combat this problem that so many Americans suffer from, an innovative mouth guard has been designed based on the science of neuromuscular dentistry and is called the Pure Power Mouth Guard™. Athletes are definitely benefitting from this innovation because by holding the jaw in its optimal position, the PPM™ results in improved vertebrae alignment, better balance, and increased upper body strength to make athletic performance even greater.
What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?
Neuromuscular dentistry is area of dentistry that works to relieve headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking or popping noises of the jaw, and tinnitus (ringing of the ears) by achieving better alignment of the jaw. Misalignment of the bite can be very painful. If you have been told you suffer from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), then you are very familiar with this very painful set of symptoms.
Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on the physical connection between the range of motion of jaw muscles and joints and your body posture. TMD treatment through the use of oral appliances works to restore your jaw to normal function and returns you to a pain-free life.
Dr. Paul Coleman at The Coleman Center for Cosmetic Dentistry has the specialized training necessary to assess your jaw problem and create a treatment plan that could possibly change your life by freeing you of the symptoms you may have been suffering from for years, if not decades.
More on the PPM™
The Pure Power Mouth Guard™ helps to properly align the facial muscles, improving muscle recruitment and vertebrae alignment. The PPM™ results in improved strength and balance and is helping athletes maximize their performance all over the country.
Dr. Coleman is a certified Pure Power Mouth Guard™ dentist and is able to determine your best possible jaw position through computerized tracking of your jaw using a TENS machine (Transcutaneous Electro Neural Stimulation).
The TENS machine relaxes your muscles and puts them in their most comfortable position. Your PPM™ is fitted especially for you and returns your muscles to their optimal position when the guard is in your mouth. When your PPM™ is in and your jaw is in its optimal position, the muscles surrounding the area are no longer stressed, giving you a comfortable bite, improved balance, and increased upper body strength.
The Pure Power Mouth Guard™ is only available through a PPM™ certified dentist such as Dr. Paul Coleman.
At our office, you will be examined thoroughly, and impressions of your lower and upper teeth will be taken. During your first appointment, we will determine your best bite. Your PPM™ will take about a week to be made in a lab, and during your second visit, you will be fitted with your brand new custom made Pure Power Mouth Guard™.
