Patent number: 10729524Abstract: Methods for accelerating orthodontic movement that include administering, within first and second consecutive time periods, light via an intraoral light therapy apparatus having a mouthpiece, are provided herein. During administering, the mouthpiece is disposed within a mouth of a patient, with a light emitter embedded in a flange of the mouthpiece being disposed between alveolar mucosa and buccal mucosa of the patient. A first removable aligner is disposed on a first set of teeth of the patient prior to, during, or subsequent to a first administering. A second removable aligner, different from the first removable aligner, is disposed on a second set of teeth of the patient prior to, during, or subsequent to a second administering. The light directly illuminates a first portion of the alveolar mucosa during the administering.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Biolux Research Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Peter Brawn, Ryan Bredin, Timothy G.
