Abstract
Apparatus are provided for regulating intra-oral light therapy. Such apparatus includes an oral tray, a plurality of light emitters configured to overlie and irradiate mucosal tissue overlying one or more roots of a plurality of teeth, an extra-oral bridge connected to the oral tray, and a housing connected to the extra-oral bridge. The light from the light emitters can be activated for a duration from about 1 minute to about 20 minutes and have a wavelength in the range of about 845 nm to about 865 nm.
Claims14
An intra-oral light therapy system, comprising:
- an oral tray configured to fit within an oral cavity of a patient;
- a plurality of light emitters embedded within the oral tray and configured to overlie and irradiate mucosal tissue overlying one or more roots of a plurality of teeth of the patient when in use in the oral cavity such that light is emitted on at least a portion of the mucosal tissue overlying the one or more roots of the patient;
- an extra-oral bridge connected to the oral tray such that the extra-oral bridge extends outside the oral cavity when the oral tray is disposed within the oral cavity;
- a housing connected to the extra-oral bridge such that a position of the housing relative to the oral cavity is supported via the extra-oral bridge;
- and
- a controller configured to activate the plurality of light emitters for a duration and at a light wavelength in response to a treatment session being initiated.
