Abstract

A teeth cleaning means is formed by technical textile processing of monofilament or multifilament threads. The threads are made of highly elastic synthetic material or latex. The threads are subjected to a technical textile processing method selected from amongst braiding, binding, doubling, weaving or drawing with the purpose of forming a shaped body having an abrasive surface on its structure. Said teeth cleaning means changes its cross-sectional area depending on the intensity of the tensile forces being exerted so that the teeth cleaning means can be easily inserted into the interproximate space of the teeth, can fill practically any interproximate space and bring about an abrasive effect therein.
