Pure Power Mouthguards

A closer look at a custom performance mouthguard

This video introduces Pure Power Mouthguards and the proposed relationship between jaw positioning and physical performance. If you are interested in a custom mouthguard, ask Dr. Maxson about its intended use, fit, and the evidence behind any performance claims.

Different mouthguards serve different purposes. An appliance designed for one use should not automatically be assumed to provide sports-injury protection or treatment for nighttime grinding.
