Pure Power Mouthguards For Football Players

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

If you’re an athlete in a constant search for ways to improve your game, the Pure Power Mouthguard may just be what you’re looking for. The PPM mouthguard is growing quickly in popularity among football players, both amateur and professional players alike. The 2010 Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints had the advantage of being outfitted with PPM mouthguards.

The PPM works by bringing the jaw into a neuromuscularly balanced position that opens the airway and gives the athlete increased balance and agility. This improved ability was there all along, but was hindered by the imbalance in the athlete’s TMJ system.


Dr. Berry outfitted Nate Jones of the Denver Broncos with a PPM appliance.

Problems With Jaw Pain

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Woman with jaw painIf you’re suffering from jaw pain, there could be a number of causes, but one of the most common causes is TMJ Disorder. Why does TMJ cause jaw pain? It has to do with what is called “occlusion”, that is, how your teeth come together. You see, your jaw muscles need to rest just like any other muscle in your body, but if your jaw can’t come into the right restful position because the shape and/or position of your teeth don’t allow it, then your muscles become fatigued and sore. Mal-occlusion can even cause wear and tear on the TMJ’s (temporomandibular joint) cartilage, causing permanent damage that can require surgical intervention. If you’re suffering from jaw pain, the worst thing that you can do is ignore it. If you’re in the Denver area, contact us right away for a TMJ consultation.
