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 MM Est. 3.5 MM
Without ArmourBite With 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 MouthwearJohns 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 -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

• Imbalance causes unilateral dominant muscle activity
• Diagnostics of imbalance of the chewing muscles with TMJOINT
• Diagnostics of imbalance and changing of it by Armourbite with G-Jump
• Armourbite leads to neuromuscular balance and/or reduces imbalance
• Recurring muscular injuries on the contralateral body side • Armourbite reduces risk of injuries
• Armourbite supports rehabilitation
• Training
• Competition
Influence of neuromuscular dysbalance upon performance and risks of injuries
Goal: Neuromuscular balance
