Abstract

See full text

The invention is a locally mounted light source for light activation of tooth whitening compositions. A support in the form of a bridge attached to a retractor or as part of a mouth guard has integral therewith, a small and lightweight light source, such as could be provided by one or more high-intensity LED's, though other light sources could be used. The light source may be in the form of an array, powered by either a direct electrical connection to a power supply or by battery power, for example, with a battery pack worn by the user. The light source is thus located in proximity to the tooth surfaces regardless of head movement or orientation, increasing user mobility and comfort.
