Abstract

See full text

An orthodontic toothbrush whose nylon bristles are configured in a radial pattern around a base wire or plastic cylinder, and is long enough to attain a cylindrical shape. That brush shape is then attached to a handle. The new pattern of bristles makes thorough cleaning above and below the brackets efficient and easy for all patients. The area between the brackets and the gum line, another area ordinarily missed during routine brushing is also now easily cleansed. The areas between the brackets are also easily cleansed since the radial design allows bristles to penetrate in all directions. Decalcification and decay both major problems during orthodontic treatment due to improper brushing technique can now be addressed.
