SPECIALLY-TRAINED DENTISTS GIVE SAINTS ADDED EDGE TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL

Part of the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl victory is attributable to the science of neuromuscular dentistry. This season 40 of the Saints players including Tracy Porter, who caught the game-changing interception, wore a custom-fitted mouthguard that employs the science of neuromuscular dentistry. Neuromuscular dentistry involves placing the lower jaw into its optimal resting position.

Here is how it works. A misaligned bite often leads to chronic pain in the head, neck and jaw, grinding of the teeth and ringing in the ears and tingling in fingers, a condition known as temporomandibular jaw joint disorder, commonly referred to as TMD or TMJ. Just like flexing your arm for a second is comfortable but flexing it continuously for two or three minutes starts to hurt, a strained jaw eventually causes pain and discomfort.

Fixing the bite puts head, neck and jaw muscles in near-perfect alignment. This not only optimizes breathing and increases strength, balance, flexibility and endurance, it alleviates pain and discomfort associated with TMD. Click here to locate a specially-trained dentist in your area.

Well, for months we have been anxiously watching to see if the season would end this way, and on Sunday it did! The Saints have come out and put themselves on the map in a huge way! Their athleticism and quick reactions have allowed them to out maneuver the other team - and they managed to steal away not just a pass, but also victory!
The story underneath it all is that in addition to their natural ability and drive, professional athletes in a variety of sports have had the tremendous advantage of a supportive appliance that is based on the Neuromuscular principles that can be used to eliminate head and neck pain. The science of muscle physiology is at play not just on the field (or court or ring) but also in every day life.
The benefits of proper support of the jaw and muscles associated with that system are astounding! Neuromuscular occlusion can eliminate pain and literally change lives. Dentists come out to LVI (Meet Dr. Duncan) from around the world to learn how to apply Neuromuscular techniques in their practices and change their patient's lives!
