Dubai Dr. Jocelyne Charest Named PPM Certified Dentist.
Dubai dentist, Dr. Jocelyne Charest, has joined the growing ranks of an elite team that specializes in bringing an athletic advantage to some of the world's best athletes.
Dr. Charest is now part of a specialized 300-plus neuromuscular dentist group operating throughout the world to deliver a unique, scientifically proven device known as the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM).
Household sports names such as Shaquille O'Neil (Suns), Michael Redd (Bucks/USA Olympic Basketball Gold Medalist), Terrell Owens (Buffalo Bills All-Star Wide Receiver), Michael Turner (Atlanta Falcons), Mark McCoy (1992 Olympic 100-metre Gold Medalist) and PGA golfers Scott McCarron and Steve Elkington have all embraced the PPM advantage.
Several other members of the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Football League (NFL), World-Class boxers, Mixed Martial Artists and players from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) also wear the PPM.
Athletes are fitted with the PPM using computerized jaw-tracking equipment and other cutting-edge technology. Once a correct bite is discovered, several molds are created and sent to the dental laboratory for production. The PPM delivers both on the field and off.
An esteemed U.S. research institution recently conducted a scientific study on the PPM and concluded peak power output and vertical leap both improved on the athletes studied. "What is fascinating here," said Dr. Charest, a member of the Las Vegas Institute (LVI) for Advanced Dentistry, "is the subjects were top-tier athletes and to get any improvement from such athletes is extremely significant."
While the PPM is quickly gaining wide acceptance with elite athletes, it is also growing in popularity with athletes from all walks of life - from the recreational hockey player to the weekend golfer. Anyone with a desire to improve their game and general level of fitness may benefit from this unique device, said Dr. Charest.
"Over 90 per cent of the population has an overbite and one of the negative effects of an overbite is that it causes muscle tension," says Dr. Charest. "When the neck and jaw muscles are tense, the body cannot perform at its peak. Strength is lost and balance is diminished. So, on the most basic level, what the PPM does is allow the body the ability to seek to perform at its peak, in a purely natural way."
