Designed and approved by a select group of "All-Time Greats" including Shaquille O'Neal and Terrell Owens, the PPM Signature Series represents the pinnacle of Makkar Advantage. In addition to the highly specialized diagnostics of the PPM Elite, the Signature Series products are specially designed in co-ordination with the endorsing athlete or other superstar, and bundled product offerings that include extended warranties and specialized services and other value added advantages.
The PPM Signature Series a neuromuscular power guard available only through our network of certified PPM dentists with Neuromuscular Dentistry training. The PPM Dentist utilizes sophisticated technology to pinpoint optimal alignment accurate to within less than 1 millimeter.
Over time, your nerves develop habits, and they then beat in patterns that are “hard-wired” into the brain. In most of us, these patterns are sub-optimal.
The first step in the PPM™ Signature Series fitting process is to relax the muscles to allow the jaws to come to physiologic rest - effectively de-programming the nerve patterns that accompany an improper bite and a misaligned jaw.
A TENS unit is used to provide mild muscle and nerve stimulation to relax jaw muscles in a process that typically takes 45 minutes.
Having relaxed the muscles, the PPM™ neuromuscular dentist then utilizes an advanced computer technology to track and measure the movements of the jaws. The technology enables the neuromuscular dentist to determine, to within a range of 0.7 millimeters, the precise 6 dimensional jaw position that unlocks the body’s potential.
In the optimal bite position, there is a gap between the upper and lower teeth that must be precisely and accurately captured and reproduced for each individual. The PPM™ that is made to precisely fill that gap is your very own “power key” – it is your custom-made key to unlock your body’s potential. There is no master key and no “one key fits all” solution. Every individual has his or her key.
The neuromuscular dentist determines your precise optimal alignment position, forms a precise custom mold to capture your unique “bite registration”. Your PPM™ Dentist will then take you through a series of exercises to ensure that your optimal bite has been captured.
You now have your “jaw position fingerprint” – your unique power key – used to produce your Makkar PPM™ Elite Powerguard.

Q: Which scans shows the BEST and WORST jaw alignment position?
HINT 1: the BEST alignment shows the least tension...smoothest lines
HINT 2: the WORST alignment is the one that shows the greatest tension in jaw and neck muscles…. looks like an “earthquake” just hit your mouth.
