How the PPE Works
After your bite is evaluated thoroughly by Dr. Dodson, the goal is to place the jaw in its optimal position and keep it there using the PPE. By using TENS (transcutaneous electro-neural stimulation) to relax the muscles of the jaw and then using EMG's to track jaw movement, Dr. Dodson is able to determine in which position the bite is at its most relaxed. When the athlete's bite is in its most relaxed position, strength is increased as is range of motion and balance. The relaxation of muscle tension allows our patients to use their body in a more efficient manner.
Athletes in all major professional sports are using the PPE and the PPM (Pure Power Mouthguard) with outstanding results. The PPE is for non-impact sports such as golf, baseball, and gymnastics, while the PPM is designed for contact sports where tooth protection and concussion resistance is necessary (football, wrestling, martial arts, hockey). Professional baseball player Manny Ramirez swears by the PPE and Seattle Seahawk Lofa Tatupu, Seattle Seahawk Josh Brown, Kansas City Chief Tomba Hali and Carolina Panther Deshaun Foster all support the PPM.
The following is a list of sports and how the PPE/PPM can enhance the performance in that sport:
- In swimming, the PPE helps improve posture and cardio with each stroke
- With improved stamina and balance, runners can decrease both running time and recuperation time
- Cyclists have found themselves with better race times and better balance on the bike
- Golfers are driving further and more accurately, which, in turn, shaves points off their score
- Boxers with improved balance and increased strength are able to fight longer with quicker reaction times
