Claims28
A device comprising:
- a mouthpiece suitable for implementing a dental treatment, wherein the mouthpiece includes:
- i. one or more stock dental cover layers suitable for forming a treatment cavity having a vacuum, wherein the dental cover layers includes a sealed layer over the upper teeth and/or a layer over the lower teeth, and wherein the dental cover vacuum is formed using a continuous sealing mechanism that includes a sealing rim formed of compressible material in conjunction with at least one sealing plug attachable to a rear opening(s) of each dental cover layer whereby the sealing rim and at least one sealing plug sufficiently seals the treatment cavity to enable the reduction of pressure in the dental treatment cavity below ambient pressure;
- and
- ii. one or more treatment supply layers wherein the treatment supply layer has one or more flow channel in fluid communication with the treatment cavity so that the treatment supply layer can deliver and/or remove one or more treatment fluids from the treatment cavity.
