Mouth guard having user-notification feature of impact force and method of making the same

A mouth guard system for detection of impact forces, comprising: a main body comprised of flexible material and having a front portion with a generally arched-shaped peripheral side for facing the buccal region of a mouth of a user, the main body further including a depressed portion adjacent to the front portion that is sized and shaped to receive teeth of the user, the front portion including a centerline to be located generally adjacent to a midline of the incisors and two ends to be located generally adjacent to the right and left molars; a printed circuit board embedded within the flexible material in the front portion of the main body and having a length extending along a substantial portion of the arched-shaped peripheral side, the printed circuit board including a front side facing toward the buccal region of the mouth and a back side facing toward the teeth of the user, the printed circuit board including components for detecting and indicating an impact force above a predetermined threshold, the components including at least a processor, a memory device, a force sensor, a battery, and a light indicator, the light indicator being located on the front side of the printed circuit board at the centerline of the front portion and being activated in response to an impact force exceeding a predetermined threshold, the force sensor being located on the back side of the printed circuit board near the centerline of the front portion of the main body, the processor and memory device being located on the back side of the printed circuit board, the battery being located on the front side of the printed circuit board adjacent to one of the ends.
