O-Max is THE OXYGEN MAXIMIZER
What is a Performance Enhancing Orthotic?
A mouthpiece that an athlete wears that improves:
Strength, Range of motion, Flexibility, Vertical Leap, Speed, Balance, Stability and increase the amount of time you can work out before your muscles fatigue.
How does it work?
With a patented system designed by Dr. Tamura, the exact location can be determined for the mouthpiece to hold your jaw so that the muscles of the head and neck are the most relaxed. When you wear this custom designed mouthpiece (called an Orthotic), it relaxes the muslces of the head and neck, which allows your body to take the energy that it was using to posture the jaw and use it for increased strength, speed, power and range of motion etc.
Can any dentist make me a Performance Enhancing Orthotic?
No. Only a dentist that has completed the extensive education required to become Certified by the O-Max Corporation can write a perscription to have a O-Max Orthotic fabricated for you.
Do I wear the orthotic on my upper or lower teeth?
Dr. Tamura offers two types of Performance Enhancing Orthotics:
The O-Max Combat - worn on the upper, this rubberized mouthpiece is used for high contact sports like Football, Soccer, Basketball, Hockey and Martial Arts.
The O-Max Stealth - worn on the lower teeth, this small clear acrylic mouthpiece can be used to increase you performance in non contact sports like Baseball, Golf, Tennis, Swimming, Gymnastics, Dance, Aerobics, Yoga, Running, Cycling, Surfing and any weight training you do in a Gym.
What does Oxygen Maximizer mean?
The O-Max positions your lower jaw in such a way that your airway is opened. This means more oxygen to your lungs, heart, muscles and brain. Increased oxygen to your lungs means you can work out longer with less fatigue. Increased oxygen to your heart means that when you work out, you have increased blood flow (which increases oxygenation) to every part of your body. Increased oxygen to your muscles means decreased recovery time from musculature fatigue which allows for maximum performance levels to be achieved. Increased oxygen to your brain means improved decision making when under stress which allows you to perform at elite levels.
Does the O-Max protect my teeth if worn during contact sports?
Yes! The O-Max not only protects your teeth from fracture and damage, but rubberized upper mouthpieces have been show to help prevent concussions.
