ABSTRACT:
A device (10) used in orthodontic processes in which light is supplied from a source (40) through a light transmissive cable (42) and directed at a patient's teeth (T). A housing (12) is deformable to conform to an arch shape of a set (SU, SL) of the patient's teeth. The length of the housing corresponds to the arcuate length of the set of teeth, and an adaptor (48) attaches the housing to an end (44) of the cable for light to be directed into the housing. A light diffusion system (18) diffuses the light throughout the housing which has a light transmissive surface (14) by which the diffused light is simultaneously directed at all of the patient's teeth on which the dental/orthodontic process is being pre-formed to substantially reduce the amount of time required for light to be used in performing the process.
