Abstract
A teeth whitening system that emits electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of a user's teeth and may also dispense a tooth whitening material for contact with the user's teeth. In one aspect, the teeth whitening system includes a mouthpiece comprising a wall and a bite platform extending from the wall that collectively define a first channel for receiving a user's teeth and an electromagnetic radiation source coupled to the mouthpiece and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of the user's teeth that are positioned in the first channel. The teeth whitening system may also include an opening in the wall through which a tooth whitening material may be dispensed into the channel. The tooth whitening system may alternatively include apertures in the wall or bite platform through which a tooth whitening material can be dispensed.
