Under Armour Performance Mouthwear Neuromuscular Balance through ArmourBite

Influence of the power wedges: jaw dropping (downward and forward ) Benefits of the power wedges : impact protection, increased strength, increased endurance, less lactic acid, less cortisol and improved reaction time.

Clenching the jaw under stress inhibits performance.

Trying to enhance performance or manage stress by adjusting the jaw is a centuries-old concept. Some people find their own way

Our product puts a comfortable and appropriate space between your teeth relieving pressure on the TMJ..

ArmourBite technology shifts the jaw joint down and forward Est. 1.5 MMEst. 3.5 MM Without ArmourBiteWith ArmourBite

ArmourBite also enlarges the airway opening which helps increased gas exchange efficiency

Over 10 years of scientific researches prove the performance benefits of UA Performance Mouthwear Johns Hopkins University, University of Minnesota,The Citadel, University of Tennessee, University of Virginia Increased strength (up to 20%). Increased endurance (average of 17%). Decreased lactic acid (25% at 30 minutes: 80% on VO2 Max). Increased flexibility and range of motion. Faster reaction times (up to 49% decrease) Lower heart rates during warm up, running, and cool down. Decreased cortisol, the stress hormone, 49% during exercise/stress. May help prevent concussions by reducing the G-Force impact from blows to the jaw (22% at 118 Gs).

Neuromuscular Imbalance - What is it? Different muscle activity between left and right side of the masticatory system can cause discomfort, pain and diseases in other parts of the body The masticatory system is connected through nerves and muscles with the other parts of the body

Neuromuscular Imbalance - Symptoms Head Headache, Migraine Sinus complaints Touch sensitivity Sensitivity disturbance Eyes Pain behind the eyes Sensitivity to light Oral cavity Unstable bite Limitation of mouth- opening Asymmetry of mouth opening Teeth Temperature sensitivity Touch sensitivity Tooth movement Tooth neck defect Teeth grinding

Neuromuscular Imbalance - Symptoms Ear Ear noises Hearing deficency Ear pain Dizziness Neck and Shoulder Stiffness of the neck Neckpain Tensions Shoulder pain Numbness in the arms/fingers JAW Jaw clicking TMJ sounds Pain in the jaw Lockjaw Uncontrolled jaw movements Throat Complaints during swallowing Hoarseness Tightness / Lump

Neuromuscular Imbalance - Symptoms Backpain Pain in the joints Disk desease Scoliosis

Other conditions Tinnitus Dizziness Neck complaints Headache Linked to Cervical Vertebra

Neuromuscular Imbalance - Diagnostics? 1. Scientific:TMJOINT 2. Practical:Different Myotests physiological leg length discrepancy bending head rotation shoulder rotation

Neuromuscular Imbalance What are our Goals? Reduction/ minimising the symptoms of the neuromuscular imbalance Reduction or elimination of complaints Performance enhancement in everyday life and in sport Prevention - Minimising of recurrent complaints and injuries
