The Science Behind PPM
(Pure Power Mouthguard)
In 90 percent of the population, the lower jaw is not an optimal position which causes facial muscles to be "unhappy" where they are situated.
The PPM is based on the concepts of neuromuscular dentistry, a science developed by Dr. Bernard Jankelson that incorporates the muscles, nerves, and supporting structures of the mouth, in orders to improve jaw and muscle alignment.
Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on the physical connection between the range of motion of these muscles and joints, and your body posture. |

Your PPM certified dentist determines the best possible jaw position through computerized tracking of your jaw, K7 machine.
A TENS (Trancutaneous Electro Neural Stimulation) machine is used to help relax your muscles, putting them in the most comfortable position. WHen your facial muscles are in this position, you PPM is fitted, thus returning your muscles to this relaxed position when the mouthguard is worn.
When your jaw is in its optimal position, as it is when wearing your specifically made PPM, the muscles are no longer stressed, thus giving you the best bite along with the added benefits of improved balance, and increased upper body strength. |
