Abstract

There is disclosed a mouthpiece component for use in an intra oral illumination system, the mouthpiece component comprising a core structure which defines at least one waveguide for receiving light which is directable at least partly by the waveguide along at least one light path of the core structure, wherein each at least one light path defines a propagation direction for light in a propagation plane; at least one optical discontinuity which is configured to cause at least a portion of light propagating along the light path in the at least one waveguide to be transmitted out of the at least one core structure and continue to propagate substantially parallel to the propagation plane; and at least one light redirection portion which is configured to redirect at least a portion of light which has been transmitted out of the core structure out of the propagation plane. A method of manufacture thereof is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a component for an intraoral lighting system, and in particular but not exclusively to a component of an oral appliance for an intraoral lighting system, such as a dental lighting system or an intraoral detection system. Background technique [0002] Intraoral lighting systems illuminate various parts of the oral cavity with light, such as teeth, gums, parts of the mouth, roof of the mouth, tongue, throat, etc. One type of intraoral lighting system is a dental lighting system for illuminating teeth with light, for example to whiten a user's teeth. These systems typically include a light source and an oral appliance, wherein a whitening agent is applied to the user's teeth, and light is then emitted to the teeth via the oral appliance to accelerate or activate the whitening process. [0003] The oral appliance is used to distribute light throughout the user's oral cavity. However, oral appliances do not always provide ...
