A balanced bite unlocks performance you can measure.
Strength. Power. Reaction. Stability. We map the bite, balance it — and the body stops fighting itself.
Watch it work. On the spot.
Same hand, same device, same day. Grip strength on a digital dynamometer without the orthotic — then with it. No theory. A number that changes while you watch.
Force that was leaking — handed back. On the dial, in real time.
Actual patient data. Recorded on Ish Rouf, Apex Bite CEO, September 2026. Handheld digital dynamometer, single-hand max grip.
The bite, mapped tooth by tooth.
A pressure sensor between the teeth records where the bite lands, how hard, and in what order — while the athlete clenches. The screen shows the load on every contact point and the left-right split, live.

This is a performance lab — not a dental office.
Sports science has spent decades optimizing the bottom of the kinetic chain — the feet. Footwear, orthotics, ground-contact mechanics. The top of that same chain — the bite — remains unmeasured on almost every roster.
An imbalanced bite forces the jaw and neck musculature to compensate — and that compensation leaks force, destabilizes posture, and compounds under impact. We map the imbalance, balance it, and give the body its force back.
Measure. Balance. Unlock.
K7 EMG
Digital jaw tracking and muscle analysis. We see how the jaw moves — and which muscles are overworking to hold it.
Tekscan
Digital bite-force and balance mapping. Pressure, timing, symmetry — measured to the millisecond.
Grip-Strength
Digital dynamometer. The live performance proof — force you can read straight off the dial.
Tekscan · Actual readingWhat an almost-perfect bite looks like.
Every contact point is measured as a share of total bite force. The green-red bar is the left-right split. The trace underneath is three clenches, force over time.
- Left / Right
- 52.4 / 47.6
- Peak contact
- 21.9% tooth 13
- Right-side peak
- 15.5% tooth 3
- Front teeth
- 0.0% unloaded

Relieve. Protect. Unlock.
Chronic symptoms
Designed to reduce chronic jaw pain and TMD symptoms that quietly degrade sleep, recovery, and readiness.
Impact trauma
A neuromuscularly balanced bite position, held by a custom orthotic, engineered to help mitigate the adverse effects of repeated impact.
Measurable force
Grip strength measured live on a digital dynamometer — before and after bite balancing.
Collision sports. Flow sports. Same chain.
Stop-start, high-impact
Football, hockey, lacrosse, rugby. Repeated collisions and explosive resets — where impact protection and force generation decide the play.
Free-flowing, sudden-movement
Soccer, basketball, tennis, cricket, MMA. Constant motion punctuated by aggressive changes of direction — where stability and balance are the edge.
Two ways in. One measurement.
Give the roster an edge rivals don't have.
You measure everything else. Measure this. A team screening surfaces the athletes leaving force on the table — and hands you a fix you can deploy across the roster by mid-season.
The coaches who get an edge are the ones who measure it.
Don't let a fixable limiter hold them back.
Your athlete trains hard. If their bite is leaking force, no amount of work fully closes the gap.
We find it, balance it, and unlock the potential that's already there.
The BITE Orthotic.
A custom orthotic, built from your athlete's own K7 and Tekscan data — not a boil-and-bite. It holds the jaw in its balanced position so the body can deliver full force on demand.
Worn in training. Worn in competition. The thing your athlete walks out with.
The BITE Orthotic · Actual deviceThe teams that measure this win.
Screening slots are limited and DMV-only — by application. We take a small number of teams and athletes at a time, so every orthotic is built right.
Picture your roster moving faster by mid-season. That window is open now.
Non-chemical. Fully reversible.
EMG jaw tracking and digital bite mapping locate the neuromuscularly balanced bite — the position where the musculature stops fighting itself.
The bite is built up in temporary material and proven in training and competition. No drugs. No injections. Remove it, and the athlete is exactly where they started.
Once the balanced position is validated, it can be made permanent with restorative dental work.
Six-week conditioning window.
Players are arriving now. Pre-season is the only window in the calendar built for exactly this — measurement, adaptation, and validation before results count. Start the protocol as players report, and the bite is balanced, proven, and game-ready before the opener. The entire protocol can run on-site at your training facility or at our Annapolis office.
Intake, imaging & baseline — 1 hour
Full clinical intake including CBCT imaging — acquired on-site or at any imaging facility, with the DICOM file sent directly to Dr. Rahman. Baseline measurements are taken the same day, using the metrics your Strength & Conditioning staff already track: grip strength, bench press, or markers of their choosing. Their numbers. Their protocol. Our variable.
Finding the balanced bite — 1 hour
Same visit. Low-frequency TENS relaxes the jaw musculature out of its compensated pattern. Once the muscles release, we locate the neuromuscularly balanced bite — the position the body actually wants, not the one it has adapted to.
Lab fabrication
A custom orthotic is lab-made to hold the balanced position. Precision work, returned in three to seven days.
Fitting & confirmation — 3 hours
The orthotic is fitted and verified with EMG jaw tracking — objective confirmation that the musculature is working from the balanced position. Post-fit measurements are taken on the spot.
Adaptation under load
The player trains in the orthotic. Typically, the muscles start to adapt within 4 to 6 weeks; a weekly check-in allows fine adjustments along the way. The bite is refined as the physiologic position changes.
Re-measure, then choose
The S&C team re-runs the baseline metrics — measured on their equipment, by their staff, against their numbers. Then the choice: keep wearing the orthotic or convert the proven position to a permanent restoration. Nothing was risked. The result was earned before it was made permanent.
Fits entirely inside camp
Report-to-ready in roughly 4–6 weeks, delivered on-site.
Measured all the way
Baseline and weekly measurements run by your S&C team.
Zero pharmacological load
No drugs, no injections — nothing to clear or disclose.
Reversible until proven
The orthotic holds the position; permanence is a choice made after the results are in.
