Abstract
A teeth treatment system includes a heating module, a mouthpiece thermally connected to the heating module such that heat can be transferred to the mouthpiece, and a heat-activated teeth treatment agent positioned in the mouthpiece such that the agent contacts a user's teeth, whereby when heat is transferred from the heating module to the mouthpiece, the agent is activated by heat to treat the user's teeth.
Claims56
A teeth treatment system, comprising:
- a heating module, including a non-electric, thermally-chargeable heat sink;
- a mouthpiece thermally connected to said heating module such that heat can be transferred from said heating module to said mouthpiece;
- and
- at least one heat-activated teeth treatment agent positioned in said mouthpiece such that said agent contacts a user's teeth, whereby when heat is transferred from said heating module to said mouthpiece, said agent is activated and treats the user's teeth.
A mouthpiece for use in a teeth treatment system, comprising:
- a substructure;
- a connector attached to said substructure, said connector sized and shaped to interface with the teeth treatment system;
- and
- a tooth form carried by said substructure opposite said connector.
A method for treating teeth, comprising the steps of:
- providing a heat-conducting mouthpiece;
- applying a heat-activated teeth treatment agent to the mouthpiece;
- connecting the mouthpiece to a non-electric, thermally chargeable heat source;
- and
- inserting the mouthpiece into a mouth of a user, whereby heat flows from the heat source to the mouthpiece, where the heat activates the agent to treat the user's teeth.
A method for treating mouth odor, comprising the steps of:
- providing a heat-conducting mouthpiece;
- connecting the mouthpiece to a non-electric, thermally chargeable heat source;
- and
- inserting the mouthpiece into a mouth of a user, whereby heat flows from the heat source to the mouthpiece, where the heat destroys mouth bacteria that promote mouth odor.
