The New Orleans Saints stopped using mouthware technology, so is this why they are not winning Super Bowls?

Richard McLean 

It was back in October 2009 when Sean Peyton, head coach of the New Orleans Saints, held an early morning meeting with his players.

He called the team meeting to ask if any of them would be interested in trying out a new mouthguard that would not only protect their teeth, but also help them perform better on the field.

By 9:30 am the players arrived at the cafeteria at the New Orleans practice facility. No one could have predicted what would happen in the coming months; that meeting now serves as an historic event in the team’s history and for the NFL.

One-by-one the players lined up to get fitted with a performance mouthguard that just hit the market. Most of the players had nothing to lose with getting fitted. Those who were skeptics however never got fitted.

Interestingly enough, the players who were fitted quickly noticed an improvement in their athletic performance on the field. And fans too noticed a positive difference among many players during regular season games.  

The news of the Saints utilizing new mouthware technology took the football world by storm. On Monday Night Football during the fourth-quarter, host John Gruden revealed to millions of viewers the secret weapon the Saints were wearing in their mouths. Yes, a magic mouthguard was helping the team march to the playoffs.

The public was intrigued, the media asked questions, and everyone was talking about a new concept in the world of sports. Was it a small mouthguard that was giving the Saints players an edge on the field?

Where is the science to prove such a modality?

Well most NFL players have TMJ issues, and once that is corrected, then watch out! You will have any football player perform like he was in high school. There is no magic, just a mouthguard that corrects a bite and puts the TMJ in a comfortable position. In return, you get many benefits, such as increase balance, range of motion and flexibility. Do you think the correction of the TMJ is the fountain of youth? Well a lot of the Saints players were playing like they were 18 again. Just ask Peyton…. just ask Gruden.

Then in February 2010 the Saints made it to their first Super Bowl appearance to face the Indiana Colts, a team that was on fire and who won the big-game two years earlier. It all went down to the wire in the beautiful city of Miami, and the Saints were ready to give it their all.

Two days before the huge game, Jonathan Vilma, defensive playmaker, actually had his performance mouthguard stolen from the locker room. It was clear that someone knew the device gave him and his teammates an advantage. In a panic, Vilma quickly called to organize another mouthguard so he could play like he was meant.

Yes, on the evening of the Super Bowl, the Saints did win, and the player with the winning touchdown was wearing a performance mouthguard.

The question still remains today? Was the mouthgaurd one of the contributing factors with the Saints winning the Super Bowl? Or was it just all a coincidence? The Saints have not won a Super Bowl since.

The testimonials from the players were increased balance and feeling less winded on the field.

This makes perfect sense as the performance mouthguard brought the lower jaw down and forward, which increased the diameter of the windpipe, decreased forward head posture, giving a player more lung capacity and therefore allowing more oxygen into the system. The balance can be easily explained by reliving the nerve called Cranial Nerve V, which controls balance. This nerve is close to the TMJ system, and when the lower jaw comes down and forward, this increases the possibility of freedom of this nerve.

The only way we will ever know if the performance mouthguard contributed to an NFL team winning the Super Bowl, is to wait for the next team to try this product, and sit back and watch the results of hopefully another Super Bowl contender.

If you are a football player and are looking for new and innovative performance mouthware, then check out the technology that New Age Performance Inc. is offering athletes. Their mouthguard and mouthpiece devices are helping athletes perform better during training and in their sport of choice.

IS CLENCHING YOUR TEETH ABUSE?

By Dan Callis

It’s no secret: over 90 percent of the population clenches their teeth.

The underlying reason for this stems from stress. That’s right, every day we use our teeth to chew food, talk, and speak. Then we accelerate the wear and tear on our teeth by clenching. That extra force on your teeth can cause them to fracture, and even radiate pain and discomfort to your temples.

So, why are we abusing our teeth? Well it’s all quite simple: we all like to concentrate, and that deep thought, just bangs those teeth together.

One demographic group that loves to focus, concentrate and win is athletes. And athletes are the ones abusing their teeth at an alarming rate. For instance, just take a weightlifter at 22 years of age, who could possibly end up with stubs of enamel by the age of 40; not to mention experiencing long-term pain associated with TMJ dysfunction.

Athletes are the ones who sacrifice their bodies for the big win day-in-and-day-out – it’s in their blood.

You might wonder then how an athlete or a fitness person can stop the abuse of clenching their teeth. Well, that’s why mouthguards were invented many years ago. They are simply a piece of plastic that protects and covers your teeth and helps prevent the wear rate of your enamel.

But don’t be fooled with regular mouthguards on the market. While they may appear beneficial, they in fact actually cause severe damage to your body. Yes, it’s true: mouthguards do not stabilize your bite and give your lower jaw instability – or the “dancing jaw” as we refer to it as. Mouthguards actually take your body out of alignment and can wreak havoc for your teeth and overall health, both short-term and long-term.

If you are an athlete, this is why you need a mouthguard that will protect your teeth and stabilize your bite. Science of the bite clearly states that stabilization increases body alignment and reduces forward head posture.

How does the bite make that happen? If your teeth are already worn down from excessive clenching, then we have to find a way to bring all those teeth back to normal. It’s just like a reset or a reboot on your computer. If your computer has a virus, then it is not going to perform at its maximum capability. However, when we delete the virus, and bring back the software to normality, performance is at a high-time level. When you experience the sensation of having all your enamel back, you just had a major reboot; in this case increasing your performance while protecting your teeth.

The best known technology on the market that will help protect your teeth and improve your performance in the gym or during competition is mouthware that is now being offered by New Age Performance. Their patented mouthware matches science and is changing the lives of many athletes, allowing them to keep their teeth longer while performing at their highest level.

New Age Performance mouthware offers an array of mouthpieces, including the 6DS, and gives an athlete the best in bite stabilization, which in turn relaxes the jaw and saves every previous material of your enamel.

The science is clear: a well aligned bite is going to give you a workout with minimum post-muscle soreness, as all the parts of your body are working in precision.

So if you are 22 and focused on those lifts, then at least you can now keep those pearly whites for a lot longer, thanks to New Age Performance’s innovative mouthware technology.

And you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank to save your teeth. New Age Performance has a variety of devices you can purchase online and they retail from $29.95 and up!
