Embodiment Construction

[0030] The lamp 1 shown in the above figure includes a portable and wearable infrared heat source 2 . A non-contact temperature measuring device is used for closed-loop temperature control. It includes an over-temperature trip (trip) mechanism, a no-temperature trip mechanism, and a split arch design to better follow tooth contours. It provides precise positioning using a retractor as a locator. Also offers enclosed area heating, low power, and is battery powered with no impact on operating temperature. It not only provides added value in the bleaching process, but also improves wearer's comfort and entertainment. In addition, it is safe and effective.

[0031] The bleach lamp 1 comprises a lightweight lamp cap 2, a power supply unit 3 and a cable 4 connecting the two. The power supply unit 3 includes a power supply pack and a central control unit (not shown separately). The power pack can be recharged and has enough power to operate the lamp for more than three hours. T...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for bleaching teeth, eg whitening teeth. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the dental treatment technique of bleaching teeth has become more and more popular. Thus, several methods and tools have been developed to make existing techniques more efficient and simple. [0003] One such technique involves fitting a tray containing a bleaching solution or gel to one of the patient's teeth (i.e., the upper or lower arch) so that the gel remains in contact with the teeth. Liquid or bleaching gel, consisting of active oxidizing ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The tray is then left in place for the required period of time, usually one day apart, or two days apart, or three days apart. [0004] By increasing the rate of decomposition of the active ingredient, the time required can be shortened. One known way of achieving this is to add a chemical catalyst to the...
