There are 15-g hits that do it. There are 115-g hits that don't, right? And so, if you are taking amount of force that is 115 and you are reducing it to 110 or so--I don't want to get the numbers wrong--because of a mouth guard, you might be reducing the forces a little bit if the hit is coming from this way, but concussions are occurring on a spectrum of forces that that won't address.
Udall highlights the ineffectiveness of mouth guards in preventing concussions across varying impact forces.
