MMA Press Release

Just ask St. Louis Rams kicker, Josh Brown. Brown says that The Edge has allowed him to run significantly faster, which he attributes to making a number of tackles over the last season with the Seattle Seahawks. “Who thinks of a kicker making tackles?” he says. “But last season I made five or six, which is incredible for a kicker.”

Brown says that The Edge allows him to lift an additional 20 or 30 pounds in each exercise he does in the weight room.

The Edge is part of a comprehensive mouth guard system, which includes the Pure Power Mouthguard, or PPM. The PPM protects the upper teeth, while The Edge, worn on the lower jaw, holds the jaw in optimal position. Only specially trained and licensed dentists, such as Dr. May, can fit athletes with the device.

The inventor of The Edge is a Canadian dentist, Dr. Anil Makkar. Both Dr. Makkar and Dr. May are graduates of the esteemed Las Vegas Institute (LVI) for Advanced Dentistry.

“The Edge is the result of a lot of serious research,” says Dr. May.

Athletes who are interested in using The Edge are fitted with the use of special, state-of-the-art equipment which monitors the condition of the jaw muscles so that a dentist can determine where the optimal bite position is.

“Once we know where the optimal bite position is, we can then fit the mouth guard,” he says. “So whenever they put the device in their mouth, it will hold their jaw in the perfect position, freeing up the rest of the body to perform at its best.”

Dr. May says he is proud to be making a difference in the lives of so many athletes, and was particularly gratified to see the three MMA fighters shine on May 31. “It is a great feeling to know I am helping make a difference. Helping athletes play their sports at their best in a healthy, natural way, is a true honor.”
