"Air-teeth"

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

"Air-teeth" was the apparent nickname for a breathing apparatus employed by humans at least during the Dalek invasion of the Solar System fought by Space Army. Jeff, Andy and Mary Stone once used them on the Moon.

The nickname was derived from the devices' positioning on the human body. They were engineered so that they fitted behind the wearer's gums. They contained solid oxygen, which was converted to a usable gas on contact with the warmth of the mouth. (COMIC: Battle for the Moon)
