Pure Power^® Performance Enhancing Mouthguards

Makkar PPM^® is taking the sports and athletics world by storm with their Neuromuscular Dentistry based performance improving mouthguards. The theory is quite simple - put your jaw in its natural and comfortable position and your neck, shoulders, and head muscles will feel more comfortable and relaxed. The overall effect is your body and mind are allowed to perform at their best. That’s why it is called the Makkar PPM Advantage^®.

Pure Power Mouthguard PPM Makkar Performance Enhancing Mouthguard Millbrae San Bruno San Mateo Burlingame

What does it all mean? Scientists, doctors and dentists have developed a Neuromuscular Dentistry based mouth guard that repositions your jaw slightly during exercise and clinching. Neuromuscular position for your jaw is essentially the most relaxed and comfortable position possible.

Once your jaw muscle is relaxed it sends signals to your neck and back muscles allowing them to relax as well. The overall effect is enhanced power, balance, range of motion, flexibility, endurance and oxygen flow.

Most people don’t realize your jaw joint or TMJ is one of the strongest muscles in your body and when clenching during sports or exercise it produces hormones that lead to stress, fatigue and distraction. Not what you want your body to be producing when you’re trying to be your best. Right?

Want a PPM Pure Power Mouthguard? Here's how:

Schedule a PPM Mouthguard appointment with Dr. Tsai

Dr. Tsai will use a TENS machine to relax your TMJ/shoulder muscles.
