Revolutionary PowerPlus Mouthguard™ Helps Boost Overall Athletic Performance While Reducing Instances of Concussions
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Jan. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PowerPlus Mouthguard™ (https://powerplusmouthguard.com/) is the newest evolution of protective gear designed to maximize both the safety and performance of athletes participating in all sporting activities. Developed by a dentist, the lower-jaw mouthguard is custom-fitted to provide uniquely targeted protection while placing the athlete's jaw in the "PowerPlus" position, which increases strength, athletic performance and protects the brain from impact injury. PowerPlus Mouthguard™ is the only mouthguard proven to significantly reduce incidents of concussions in athletes.
Patented in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, PowerPlus Mouthguard™ improves isokinetic strength in flexion, both for the upper and lower body, while placing an athlete's jaw in an optimal maxilla-mandibular spacing that facilitates increased response time and balance. In addition, using physiologic jaw positions, g-forces that are normally delivered to the skull and the brain via physical impacts are ultimately lowered, reducing instances of dental injury and concussions. The mouthguard also allows athletes unobstructed breathing and the ability to speak clearly without compromising protection.
"Results from a study on human subjects reported in the Journal of the Academy of General Dentistry showed the importance of placing the jaw in the optimal, physiologic position in order to drastically reduce the incidents of concussions. Similarly, in an ongoing concussion field study that has grown to over 4000 athletes wearing the medically patented, PowerPlus Mouthguard, results have shown the incidents of concussions reduced to 0.20 percent. This study includes athletes at all levels, from professional to high school, and represents multiple sports including male and female teams in football, hockey, basketball, as well as soccer and MMA. This is truly a breakthrough in concussion lowering technology," said Dr. Michael Hutchison, founder and inventor of PowerPlus Mouthguard™.
The effectiveness of the PowerPlus Mouthguard™ is directly related to the easy three-step, customized fitting of each piece. The mouthguard comes with a "PowerPlus" Position measuring gauge that measures an athlete's unique bite position. After this position is determined, it is then locked in (with or without a fitting, power-wafer insert) by heating the mouthguard in boiling water before placing the guard in the mouth to finalize the perfect, individualized fit.
"PowerPlus is the only medically patented mouthguard that places the athlete's jaw in the optimum, physiologic position. This is why athletes experience marked improvement in breathing, strength, balance and performance in addition to the protection from concussive forces. Traditional mouthguards worn on the upper teeth were originally designed to prevent chipped teeth and have virtually no other performance or protective purpose," — Michael Hott, PowerPlus Mouthguard™, EVP
Reviews for PowerPlus Mouthguard™ from coaches and parents have been overwhelmingly positive:
"The season we did not fit our kids with a PowerPlus Mouthguard™ we had four concussions; two kids had to sit out the rest of the season. The following two seasons, we had all our kids wearing the PowerPlus and we have not had a single concussion for two seasons now. In addition, we went 31–1 and won back-to-back state championships," — Whitney Keeling, Head Football Coach, Waskom High School
"I was skeptical at first, but we gave the PowerPlus Mouthguard™ a chance. We equipped all 91 players in the program with one, and I am happy to say we had no concussions this year!" — Mike Sims, Athletic Director Tahquitz High School
