Right Bite Mouthguard
The Next Generation

What have athletic mouthguards done in the past, why are they important and what do they do?

Historically, mouthguards have been fabricated for contact sports; football, hockey, lacrosse, any sport that could involve significant trauma to the teeth and head. They were designed to protect the teeth and keep them from being knocked out. More importantly, they helped prevent concussions by cushioning the head from direct trauma, which bounces the brain against the inside of the skull.

What does the Right Bite mouthguard do that is different?

For the past eight years, I have been utilizing a form of advanced computerized diagnostics to align the jaws to be in harmony with the muscles of the head and neck to treat my TMJ patients. Using these treatments, we can most often get rid of headaches, ear problems, neck pain, ringing in the ears, pain behind the eyes, numb hands, insomnia, and other problems associated with muscle imbalances.

What we have also found is when the muscles of the head and neck are relaxed, the patient benefits from increased strength, balance and flexibility. So we have applied the same techniques to a sports appliance, resulting in better athletic performance.

So these mouthguards increased the athletic abilities of athletes in contact sports?

Yes, that’s the beauty of this science. The mouthguard can increase the athletic prowess of any sports athlete. They can be made for contact sports or made out of a harder, less bulky material for any athletic endeavor.

If you were a golfer, what would a 15% increase in flexibility and balance do for your backswing?

If you were a gymnast working the beam, what would a 15% increase in flexibility or balance do?

If you were a weight lifter, would you like to do five more reps after you had hit exhaustion doing bench presses?

If you shoot skeet, would an increase in balance help you?

If you were a wide receiver, what would an increase in your vertical leap do? You get the point.

What is involved with this process and how much does it cost?

We first evaluate to make sure this will benefit the athlete. Over 90% of all people have bite discrepancies they have learned to live with. Then we relax the muscles of the head and neck by electronically stimulating the nerves which go to those muscles. This is enough technology to find a great bite for most people. We can, for professional or Olympic athletes, find even a more exacting bite using sophisticated computer software. We can find the optimum location for the jaws to be aligned, so the residual muscle tension is minimized, allowing the muscles of the rest of the body to work better. The cost depends on what sport, what material and whether the patient desires the professional or sports level.

Has anyone else done this?

Well, if you think of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or Tiger Woods, when they take the big shot, or try and hit the big drive, they instinctively know if they place their tongue in a certain position, their body will work better. They make their tongues into a Right Bite mouthguard without thinking about it.

A similar product is being marketed to professional football teams as we speak, but at this time my office is the only office in San Diego who makes this type of athletic appliance.
