ABSTRACT:
A brush small in diameter consisting of stiff bristles of 0.014 inch nylon filaments bundled in 50 nylon filaments glued within a plastic shank. Stiff, short 4 mm, flat even ended bristles are equal in length to form a substantially planar cleaning surface. The small diameter allows for improved dental hygiene via clearance in tight areas such as under orthodontic arch wires and other dental prostheses along with maintaining hygiene in normal and healthy oral cavities. The bristles are capable of fluoride and antibacterial mouthrinse transfer to treat sensitivity, decalcification and inflamed or infected gumline areas. The ergonomical handle has an angled neck, over molded soft grips and additional, replaceable heads are stored inside the hollow handle. The head rotates into multiple angles. Primary embodiment is manual, but other embodiments may allow for mechanical applications that include agitating or reciprocating articulation powered by a motor.
