Abstract

See full text

A toothbrush apparatus includes a handle with a longitudinal axis and a toothbrush head constructed and arranged to hold multiple bristles. The bristles are formed in a non-circular configuration. The non-circular configuration is on a distal end, or a portion including the distal end, or the entire bristle. A wall defining an elongated bristle body of each bristle tapers from a base end towards a chisel end of the elongated bristle body. The toothbrush head is of an arcuate shape that conforms to a dental arch. The toothbrush apparatus includes one or more bristle carriers for detachably attaching multiple bristles to the toothbrush head. The second end of each of the bristles of predetermined heights defines a first curved trim profile and a perpendicular second curved trim profile. The bristles in the first curved trim profile at a terminal end of the toothbrush head are extended to reach rear teeth.
