摘要：
A mouthpiece that adjusts manually to accommodate a broad range of different size sets of upper and lower teeth in the mouth and yet seals the treatment area from oxygen exposure. The mouthpiece includes one or more light emitters and one or more heat generators. A series of parallel texture bands are provides to guide and direct the light from the light emitters to diffuse generally evenly onto teeth to be treated. The seal arises from an inner surface of the mouthpiece titling inwardly so that a seal bead seals in the vicinity of the gum above the teeth to be treated. Method for effecting an oral treatment such as whitening or desensitizing teeth or treating gum disease. For whitening, a whitening gel is applied to the user's teeth, the mouthpiece is then positioned in the user's mouth such that a bite surface is between upper and lower arches, a main body is between a front surface of the teeth and an inner surface of the user's lips, and a seal bead is against the user's gums. Then, the light emitter(s) and heat generator(s) are activated to effect the whitening while causing an increase in the temperature of the main body thereby enabling the user to mold the main body and conform its shape to their mouth.本發明係關於一種咬嘴及其使用方法，該咬嘴包括一個或多個發光器以及一個或多個發熱器，使用者可手動調整該咬嘴以符合口腔中寬範圍之不同大小的上排牙齒和下排牙齒，並且對所述的治療區域進行密封以防氧暴露。可提供一系列平行的紋理條帶以引導及指引來自該咬嘴之光發射器的光線大致上均勻地擴散到牙齒上。密封方式係從該向內傾斜之咬嘴的內表面開始，以使一密封邊在牙齒之齒齦附近進行密封。本發明之方法係可用於實現諸如對牙齒進行美白、脫敏或者治療齒齦疾病的口腔治療的方法。以美白而言，其係將美白凝膠塗佈於使用者的牙齒，然後將該咬嘴定位在使用者的嘴中，以使咬嚙表面位於上牙拱和下牙拱之間，在牙齒的前表面與使用者之嘴唇的內表面之間有一主體，且該密封邊抵靠於使用者的齒齦。而後在使該主體的溫度升高的同時，啟動所述發光器和發熱器以實現美白，由此使得使用者能夠對該主體進行鑄模，而使其形狀符合使用者的嘴。
