Abstract

Disclosed is a tooth cleaning implement having an articulating head region and an ergonomically shaped body region. The head region comprises a horizontal crown hingedly connecting to first and second perpendicular side portions to form a U-shape. Inwardly directed bristles from the crown and side portions create an encompassing brush head adapted to contact the occlusal, buccal and lingual surfaces of a tooth and gum line therebelow for cleaning and removing debris. Along the outer surface of the crown portion is an area of upstanding bristles for cleaning teeth opposing those within the interior of the head region. The body region comprises an ergonomic shape for easily handling while brushing, wherein the body comprises a multi-material construction that provides both a cushioned feel and stable handling. The body region further comprises upstanding palm grips, a thumb grip area, and a flexible distal end to allow flexing of the toothbrush head.
