The PPM is based around the concepts of Neuromuscular Dentistry. Neuromuscular Dentistry is focused on the muscles, nerves and supporting structures of the mouth, in order to improve the jaw and muscle alignment. It is concerned with the physical connection between the range of motion of these muscles and joints, and your body posture. 90% of the population suffers from a lower jaw that is not in its optimal position. This causes the facial muscles to be ‘unhappily’ situated.

Dr David May is a certified PPM Dentist. He will determine the best possible jaw position through computerized tracking of your jaw. Dr May will use a TENS (Transcutaneous Electro Neural Stimulation) machine to help relax your muscles, putting them into their most comfortable position. When your facial muscles are in this position, your PPM is fitted, thus returning your muscles to this relaxed position when the mouthguard is worn.

When your jaw is in its optimal position, as it is when you are wearing your specifically made PPM, the muscles are no longer stressed. PPM therefore gives you the best bite along with the added benefits of improved balance and improved upper body strength.
