Disclosed herein is a pair of dry type patches for teeth whitening, having a patch for upper teeth and a patch for lower teeth, in which the patch for upper teeth has a shape different from the patch for lower teeth, and each patch has a controlled width and shape such that the contact area of each patch with gums is minimized. In the patch for upper teeth, a central portion covering right and left upper central incisors is widest. In the patch for lower teeth, either portion covering right and left lower canine teeth is widest. Since the dry type patches covers all the portions of the teeth while minimizing the contact area with gums, no or little irritation is caused and wearability is excellent.

For use with a head-worn computer, such as Google's Glass device, a user-generated tooth-tapping based input is used to control various and select computer operations during its use. The user simply opens and closes their jaw slightly so that they tap their right side pair of canine teeth, their left side pair of canine teeth, or all their teeth together to generate a sound and a vibration. This sound and vibration generated by a single tooth tap or any combination thereof is detected by at least one microphone located on the head-worn computer, and according to other embodiments of this invention two or more microphones and/or vibration-detection sensors. The computer receives the tapping sound signals from the microphone and uses controlling circuitry and/an algorithm to determine the exact tap-sequence and time between taps to establish a “command signature”, specific to each particular tap-sequence. From this, the computer compares the command signature with a corresponding command or action stored in the onboard memory and then performs that command or action, as required. The user can effectively and discretely control many operations of the head-worn computer merely through tooth tapping.

An multipurpose mouthpiece assembly is disclosed for use in diagnosing and treating a variety of termporomandibular disorders. The assembly can include both a maxillary appliance and a mandibular appliance that are optionally configurable to function as a discluder, for diagnosing and treating wearers suffering from bruxism, tension headaches, and common migraine headaches, by preventing contact between opposing canine and posterior teeth and thereby reducing the intensity of clenching of the wearer's temporalis muscles. Alternatively, the two appliances are optionally configurable for use as a mandibular advancement device, for diagnosing and treating wearers suffering from obstructive sleep apnea by preventing excessive retrusion of the wearer's mandible. Alternatively, either the maxillary appliance or the mandibular appliance can be used individually to protect the teeth from nocturnal asymptomatic teeth grinding. In all cases, the appliance(s) can be readily adjusted to accommodate wearers whose maxillary and mandibular arches have a variety of sizes and shapes.

An intraoral discluder for preventing chronic tension headaches, common migraine headaches, and temporomandibular disorders that are caused or perpetuated by chronic activity of the temporalis muscle. The discluder includes a trough, contoured to encompass at least one maxillary or mandibular incisor, from which extends a protruding platform, for engagement by the opposing incisors. The trough can be retained on the teeth by any adaptable material than can flow around the teeth and then maintain its shape. Once in place in the wearer's mouth, one or two opposing incisors will come into contact with the platform prior to the upper and lower posterior and/or canine teeth coming into contact, regardless of the position of the mandible, thereby reducing the intensity of the activity of the temporalis muscle. In addition, a special post on the discluder's platform is engageable directly with one or more opposing incisors, to act as a stop and thereby inhibit excessive retrusive movement of the mandible and urge the mandible toward a more protrusive position. This can reduce the intensity of undesired clenching, and it can enhance the size of the wearer's pharyngeal airspace, thereby reducing the incidence and severity of snoring.
