The MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE SYSTEMS mouthguard (MPS) is an athletic enhancement appliance, designed with the technology to immediately improve balance, endurance and maximize strength. In addition, similar to traditional mouthguards, the MPS also protects the teeth and jaw and reduces the risk of concussion in the event of a high impact collision.
The Science behind the MPS
In the majority of the population, the lower jaw is not in an optimal position. This misalignment creates tension in the muscles and prevents the muscles in the upper body from working at their full potential. The MPS aligns the jaws in the optimal position, relaxing the muscles and improving muscle recruitment and vertebrae alignment. The result is improved upper body strength and balance. The optimal position provided by the MPS also opens the airways resulting in greater endurance.
Neuromuscular mouthguards are used by hundreds of professional and All Star athletes in virtually every field imaginable. Manny Ramirez now of the LA Dodgers, Josh Brown of the St. Louis Rams, and Michael Redd of the Milwaukee Bucks are a few athletes who will not go on the field without their mouthguard. Athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, Mixed Martial Arts, bicycling, running, golf, tennis and even race car driving are finding performance improvements using these amazing devices. It has been known for decades that mandibular position affects balance, strength and posture. Weight lifters and football players have shown that they are stronger when they have a mouthguard to bite on.. "Terrell Owens has actually been timed running faster with his mouthguard in."
Beware of imitators! The MPS is not a boil and bite piece of rubber, nor is it the free mouthguard that your local dentist provides to the high school football team. Biting down on a basic mouthpiece worsens the jaw alignment and makes an athlete weaker. So the MPS mouthguard not only removes the weakness, but adds enhanced performance.
How Is The MPS Made?
Each patient receiving an MPS has a thorough TMJ evaluation. Then precise models are taken of the teeth. An electronic TENS device is placed on the jaw and neck muscles for about an hour to create complete relaxation of those muscles. This relaxed, balanced muscular jaw position is then precisely measured and recorded on a Jaw Tracking Computer. We can immediately demonstrate the effectiveness of the Neuromuscular bite position by testing upper body strength, balance and flexibility. The results are often dramatic and surprising. This information is sent to a laboratory to make the finished MPS in about 2 weeks.
