ABSTRACT:
A toothbrush and orthodontic appliance cleaning device has a multi-surface cleaning head positioned longitudinally at one end of a handle. The head is comprised of two elongate brush members attached at one end to a first surface of the handle. The elongate brush members run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle and closely oppose ends of a plurality of bristle bunches projecting transversely from the head. The elongate brushes are not attached to the head or handle at one end, enabling them to pass beneath the orthodontic wires and clean interproximal to the brace assembly. The plurality of bunches can clean the brace surface. The relationship between the free ends of the conventional bristle tufts and the elongate brushes provide both accurate guidance of the brush head along the orthodontic appliance. The relationship further permits comprehensive cleaning of brace, tooth, and gingival surfaces in two basic motions.
