1. A mouthpiece suitable for implementing a dental treatment, the mouthpiece comprising:
i. a compressible soft body dental cover section that is configured to cover a dental arch, the cover section composed of one or more elastomeric materials and comprising a well suitable for forming a fluid sealed treatment cavity having a vacuum below ambient pressure, wherein the dental cover section that is configured to cover the dental arch includes a section over the teeth and surrounding gums, and wherein the one or more elastomeric materials are soft and have low shore hardness;
ii. one or more treatment supply sections wherein the treatment supply section has one or more flow channels in fluid communication with the treatment cavity so that the treatment supply section can deliver and/or remove one or more treatment fluids from the treatment cavity; and
iii. one or more separate rigid stiffening elements coupled to the soft body dental cover section,
wherein, when an internal vacuum force is applied to the fluid sealed treatment cavity, the dental cover section collapses due to collapse of the one or more elastomeric materials, while the one or more separate rigid stiffening elements resist collapse,
wherein the one or more rigid stiffening elements form an endo-skeleton by being partially or fully embedded inside the soft body dental cover section, and
wherein the soft body dental cover section is over-molded over the one or more rigid stiffening elements.
