Abstract: An intraoral phototherapy device is provided that improves tissue illumination. Oral tissue illumination is particularly difficult inside of the teeth. That is, it is particularly difficult to illuminate the roof of the mouth, floor of the mouth, sides of the tongue, and/or ventral surface of the tongue. The intraoral phototherapy device improves illumination of these tissues using a bifurcated central projection that receives a portion of the tongue. An intraoral phototherapy device is also provided that includes a breathing tube to improve patient breathing and vocalization for enabling illumination of tissues at the back of the mouth. An intraoral phototherapy device is additionally provided that allows for separate control of light emission from different areas of the intraoral phototherapy device.
