Have you heard of the Pure Power Mouthguard? It’s making waves among football fans after many New Orleans Saints players started wearing it this season. The Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) was designed using principles of neuromuscular dentistry. Your bite position can affect how your neck aligns with your spine, and the PPM is designed to correct the position of your bite during physical activities. This places your body in proper alignment and allows you to utilize the energy that was previously spent clenching your teeth.

If you’re interested in being fitted for a Pure Power Mouthguard, Southcentre Dental Clinic can help you. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
