Sports dentistry performance assessment and performance enhancement

Enhancing sports performance effectively

Sports performance is not just about developing the muscles of the body, good form timing and nutritional supplements, but sometimes also about areas that we hadn’t thought about before. In Hungary, for the first time, we have the opportunity to look at what bite can hinder or enhance sports performance.

What you wouldn't think...

The important aspects of sport are enjoying the movement, avoiding injury, improving performance, strengthening and, of course, often winning. In addition to training plans and form timings, there are countless additional tools to enhance performance in sport. Among these, the least thought of is the role that dentistry can play. Surprising as it may seem, bite can be an important factor. It matters how much force we exert when clenching our teeth when lifting and it matters what information our brain receives from the bite in terms of balance and posture.

Our unique method

The aim of the sports dentistry performance assessment is to get an idea of how well the bite supports the body’s balance in a given situation. This can be measured directly by measuring the activity of the muscles of mastication, but can also be measured by changes in the power of the bite, gait and jumping after a change in the bite. During our examination, we will perform a baseline assessment and, if a dental performance enhancement splint is recommended, we will measure back the planned bite. We only start manufacturing a sports performance enhancement splint if we see a change in performance.

Testimonials

I felt HermannOrtho was my last chance because I had already visited five orthodontic surgeries, but the only answer I got was that it is hopeless, it cannot be done, I should have come thirty years earlier, it was horrible. But Gábor and his team did not just see a problematic set of teeth but also the person behind it. Their professional preparedness, their attitude, their humane behaviour is unparalleled, it is outstandingly unique. They have invested a lot of work into the treatment. Every time I felt it was truly important for them that they achieve the best result possible. I have never trusted anyone this much. I am immensely grateful.

/Zsuzsanna Szilveszter/

We brought both our children to the HermannOrtho surgery. Gábor worked miracles on Bence’s teeth, the end result was much better than I had expected! Zoé’s treatment is not finished yet, but the change is already visible and she is very happy about that.

I myself like coming here because the children have never been afraid, the treatment was much more comfortable and pain free than I had been told by others who got treatment elsewhere. Children like Gábor very much, he speaks their language. Everybody was very kind to them, they would always explain to them what was going to happen and why during the treatment.

It was also important for us that the surgery is well-equipped, they work with the newest technology. Gábor constantly develops both the surgery and himself! This was a very important feature for me when making the choice. This is why we come here, although we live 85 kms from Budapest. It is the icing on the cake that he proved to be a very kind person. Everybody at the surgery is very nice and this was also very important to me, since we are talking about my children.

HermannOrtho’s sleep dentistry is currently one of a kind in the country. If you have tried the health insurance covered Therasnore but could not get used to it or it does not work and you do not use it, visit HermannOrtho and try the 3D printed protrusion rails. As an IT student doing his Master’s, it is fantastic to see that the new technologies that I study about are already in use at HermannOrtho. Gábor always does his best to further improve his knowledge in fields beyond but connected to orthodontics. I can guarantee that except for a few exceptions not too many orthodontic specialists would know what the abbreviation “CG” stands for.

We took our daughter Mira, who is 11 now, to Gábor and his colleagues for treatment after she started losing her baby teeth. Gábor brought it to our attention that Mira had tongue thrust and mouth breathing. Fortunately, the logopedic treatment recommended by Gábor and his colleagues and the overnight mouth monitor proved to be an effective solution.

We started the orthodontic treatment in the December of 2020 so that the canine could come out in the right direction and spot. Thanks to the complex support Mira’s treatment successfully came to an end in the April of 2021.

Mira was a bit scared first of orhtodontics but she soon got used to the braces and wore them without a problem. I think it played a great part in this that the atmosphere in the surgery is very relaxing and friendly and that Gábor and his team are kind and very-very professional.

/Marcsi Szalontai/

My daughter’s treatment started 1,5 years ago! After the first consultation we already knew that this was the only place for us! Information and the expertise was first class! Gábor and Rita are always very nice, Aliz was never afraid, they always explained everything, what was going to happen. The service is comprehensive, logopedics and body treatments are included in the orthodontics, if necessary. It is definitely five stars from us, we can only recommend them to anyone who wants to get orthodontic treatment! 🙂
