Zusammenfassung:	There is disclosed a mouthpiece component for use in an intra oral illumination system, the mouthpiece component comprising a core structure which defines at least one waveguide for receiving light which is directable at least partly by the waveguide along at least one light path of the core structure, wherein each at least one light path defines a propagation direction for light in a propagation plane; at least one optical discontinuity which is configured to cause at least a portion of light propagating along the light path in the at least one waveguide to be transmitted out of the at least one core structure and continue to propagate substantially parallel to the propagation plane; and at least one light redirection portion which is configured to redirect at least a portion of light which has been transmitted out of the core structure out of the propagation plane. A method of manufacture thereof is also disclosed.
