Could a misaligned jaw be the culprit for your athletic clumsiness?

If we’re honest, not many of us have the athletic prowess to zip down the field at speed, whizzing past opponents and racking up points on behalf of our favourite club. Weight problems plaguing the nation aside, some of us just don’t have that special something to make us the next sporting hotshot, but the reason why we don’t may surprise you.

According to neuromuscular dentists, the lower jaw and its muscles is responsible for postural problems and poor athletic performance. If the musculature of the head, neck and jaw are aligned, muscle recruitment is improved throughout the entire body, which will lead to increased balance, strength and power. This musculature alignment is so delicate and vital that it can improve posture, minimise the risk of athletic injuries occurring and speed up recovery from existing injuries.

For 90 percent of the population, according to a 2007 press release, the lower jaw is not in the optimal position. This misalignment causes muscles in the face to function improperly. Thanks to an advance in neuromuscular dentistry, this problem can be rectified.

The insertion of an Oso Athletic Mouthguard can work to realign the lower jaw and the muscles in the face, leading to optimal athletic performances. There are three types of Oso mouthguards, which can be worn on the upper teeth for contact sports and invisibly on lower teeth for non-contact sports.

The Oso Athletic Mouthguard can give you a competitive edge by enhancing and fine-tuning your athletic performance. Oso suits a variety of athletes including footballers, rugby players, boxers and runners. For more information, get in touch to book a consultation.
