Custom Fit Mouthguard
Mouthguards are vital to protect the teeth during sports activities, especially contact sports. The best mouthguards keep your teeth and mouth safe and cushioned from blows to the face, but the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) takes this several steps further.
There are several types of mouthguards. The most commonly used are those that are “one size fits all.” These mouthguards provide some protection, but are not nearly as effective as a mouthguard that has been custom-made to fit your mouth. Custom mouthguards provide much better protection, increased comfort, and easier breathing, but still do not provide the unique features you can receive from a PPM.
The PPM is unique in its approach to comfort and effectiveness. Not only does this mouthguard protect your teeth, but it actually improves performance and helps keep your mouth and teeth aligned the way they should be.
Using principles of neuromuscular dentistry, the PPM is carefully designed to maintain an ideal relationship between your upper and lower jaw. Only a dentist like Michael Firouzian, DDS, who is trained in neuromuscular principles, can properly fit the PPM.
The procedure used to fit a PPM is similar to that used to treat temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ. Dr. Firouzian uses a TENS device, which completely relaxes the jaw muscles using electrical stimulation. Once the jaw is relaxed, he uses computer imaging to determine the proper alignment of the joint. Next, Dr. Firouzian produces a model designed specifically for your mouth, from which the mouthguard will be manufactured.
Misaligned teeth, everyday tension, and stress can lead the muscles of the jaw to be abnormally tense on a regular basis. This compounds the problems that bring the temporomandibular joint into misalignment, producing symptoms such as severe headaches, back and neck pain, and pain in the ears. Bringing the jaw into alignment can significantly reduce these symptoms. Using the PPM, your jaw will be drawn into this ideal alignment, reducing stress throughout your body, improving your posture and even improving your overall oxygen intake. Your performance on the field can improve dramatically, just from using this unique, state-of-the-art mouthguard as trained muscles are free to reach their maximum athletic potential.
For more information about how PPM can improve your game, decrease TMJ symptoms and protect your mouth and teeth on the field, please contact Dr. Michael Firouzian at the Center for Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Columbus, Ohio.
