Abstract

A toothbrush (10) has a toothbrush head (12) supported by an elongated handle (14) which defines an axis (15). A number of brush elements (16) mounted on the toothbrush head, each including at least one tuft of bristles (18), have a dimension parallel to the axis being no more than about 5 mm. Each brush element assumes a released state (20) projecting upright from the toothbrush head, and can be deflected in a given direction defined by a motion delineating configuration (22). The direction of deflection is at an angle of between about 15° and about 75° to the axis and perpendicular to a bristle extension direction.
