A reservoir system for delivering an active agent into an oral cavity over an extended delivery period includes a pair of rigid plastic containers (18), which each have a hollow interior space for containing the active agent, at least one opening (28, 30) for dispensing the active agent, and a flexible plastic appliance (20) for securing the containers within the oral cavity at a desired location. The containers (18) are located within chambers (16) formed in opposite sides of the appliance. The container includes a molded plastic body having a size and shape suitable for comfortably retaining the container within the oral cavity for the extended delivery time. The body is generally oval, cabochon-shaped to comfortably fit in the vestibule between the teeth/gums and cheek of the patient and has a plurality of dimples (76) for selectively forming venting and dispensing holes at desired locations.
