NON-CUSTOM DENTAL TREATMENT DEVICE HAVING THICKENED OCCLUSAL WALL

摘要

Dental treatment devices for treating a person's teeth and/or gums include a barrier layer with a thickened occlusal wall that is at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50% thicker than the labial and lingual walls. The thickened occlusal wall assists the user when installing the treatment device and helps retain the treatment device over the teeth during use. The barrier layer has a generally horseshoe-shaped and is devoid of structures corresponding to the size and shape of a person's unique dentition so as be adaptable and conformable over a plurality of differently-sized dental arches corresponding to different people. The dental treatment device may be initially separate from the dental treatment composition or pre-filled within the composition. Kits include one or more dental treatment devices and one or more treatment compositions. Methods include positioning a barrier layer and treatment composition over a person's teeth for a desired time period.
