ORAL HYGIENE IMPLEMENTS HAVING FLEXIBLE ELEMENTS, AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME.

摘要

An oral hygiene implement includes a cleaning element carrier and a body. The body has a proximal end and a distal end. The cleaning element carrier has a first area and a second area wherein the second area is disposed inboard of the first area. The first area is attached to the body while the second area is unattached to the body. A bending element is disposed between the first area and the second area, thereby allowing the second area to bend/flex while the first area stays fixed to the body.
