  You guys do realize that is most likely just a simple prototype render. They obviously have some work to do..
  I've seen a few mouth guards and they aren't overly complicated.

  I've worked on these specifically and can say this looks horrible. As a concept sure, it all sounds and looks relatively wonderful. But that mouth guard will never go in someones mouth, the size is just huge! While I hope the size is proportionate to the amount of electronics that will go into the mouth guard, but honestly that thing will never fit comfortable in ones mouth. The guard will have to be heated and press fitted into the mouth which will require high heat resistant electrical components. Unless you use dental molds which then need to be transferred to the mouth guard which will create higher costs not to mention entirely different materials. Another thing is what is this thing measuring? If its just an accelerometer this thing could be going off on just basic moves the player makes. I believe a device like this could be something ground breaking in the longevity of athletic careers but a lot more work needs to be seen on this concept for me to believe any of these statements.

  Is it prohibitively expensive?

  I think the concept is spot on and timely, but I have to say, the form does not speak to anything that would go in or near the mouth. It looks way too angular and chamfered for something that would fit the organic contours of the mouth.
  
  Take a peek at other mouthgards/alignment devices/whitening products for some inspiration if you want to push this concept even further.
