Benefits of technology

[0019]Accordingly, the present invention is conceived to solve the aforementioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an interdental brush which can clean conveniently an interdental space between front teeth as well as an interdental space between molar teeth and can insert accurately and simply a brush portion into an interdental space in a molar tooth region having a narrow space.

Problems solved by technology

In general, in the I-type interdental brush, since the handle and the brush portion are disposed on a straight line, it is very difficult to insert the brush portion into an interdental space between the molar teeth.
Accordingly, when the brush portion is inserted into the interdental space between molar teeth, the user feels an inconvenience.
In the brush-rotating type interdental brush, the user should rotate the brush portion every time, and so it is very inconvenient to utilize the interdental brush.
Also, in the brush-free-bending type interdental brush, the user should bend the brush portion every time, and so it is very inconvenient to utilize the interdental brush.
