Methods and systems for delivering an active agent into an intraoral structure are disclosed. One embodiment of a method for implementing the subject matter described herein includes generating an electrical signal that includes a first frequency, a second frequency, and a third frequency, and supplying the electrical signal to an embedded circuit contained in an intraoral delivery tray, wherein the embedded circuit includes at least one electrode that includes projections positioned proximally to a surface of an intraoral structure. The method further includes providing the first frequency and the second frequency to the at least one electrode to generate an electrical field that electrically motivates the active agent suspended in a fluid medium contained in the intraoral delivery tray toward the intraoral structure via dielectrophoresis and providing the third frequency to the at least one electrode to increase the uptake of the active agent into intraoral structure via alternating current electroosmosis. 1. A method for delivering an active agent into an intraoral structure , the method comprising:generating an electrical signal that includes a first frequency, a second frequency, and a third frequency;supplying the electrical signal to an embedded circuit contained in an intraoral delivery tray, wherein the embedded circuit comprises at least one electrode that includes projections positioned proximally to a surface of an intraoral structure;providing the first frequency and the second frequency to the at least one electrode to generate an electrical field that electrically motivates the active agent suspended in a fluid medium contained in the intraoral delivery tray toward the intraoral structure via dielectrophoresis (DEP); andproviding the third frequency to the at least one electrode to increase the uptake of the active agent into intraoral structure via alternating current (AC) electroosmosis.2. The method of wherein the intraoral structure includes at ...
