There has been numerous studies about the correct thickness of a mouthguard to help prevent concussions. We sell both 3mm mouthguards for light contact sports and 6mm mouthguards for heavy contact sports
Some of the best information has came from a study in 2020.
Association between Sports-Related Concussion and Mouthguard Use among College Sports Players: A Case-Control Study Based on Propensity Score Matchinghttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7345674/
"Unlike several previous systematic reviews, some recent studies have revealed the benefit of mouthguard use in preventing SRC. Winters et al. conducted a prospective study that found wearing a custom-made, properly fitted mouthguard with ≥3 mm thicknesses in the posterior occlusal area statistically reduced the incidence of SRC when compared with over-the-counter mouthguards. That study was superior to similar studies because the quality of mouthguards was strictly controlled and SRC injury was documented by a certified athletic trainer rather than through self-reported data."
