A toothbrush that facilitates brushing even by individuals with limited manipulative dexterity includes a handle (105), a head (101) mechanically coupled to the handle, and an array of bristles (107) secured to the head and extending outwardly thereform in a plurality of directions, such that, when the head and the array of bristles are viewed in cross-section, the bristles occupy a first sector (207) of a circular area that is greater than sixty (60) degrees, but less than or equal to two hundred forty (240) degrees of the circular area, and wherein the remaining at least one hundred twenty (120) degrees of the circular area is devoid of any bristles. The handle (105) may be substantially C-shaped. The C-shape of the handle enables the handle to be easily grasped by users. |
