The present invention relates to a toothbrush, and more particularly, when the head portion is located on the tooth portion, the bristles are naturally located between the teeth and the gums, and when brushing, the head portion is inclined to one side so that the bristles are laid on the tooth surface. The present invention relates to a toothbrush that can induce a user to easily brush properly and maximize the oral cleanliness by easily brushing the inside of the mouth where the toothbrush does not touch properly, and at the same time, to prevent wear of certain parts of the tooth. .

In general, a toothbrush is used to clean a tooth with toothpaste for tooth health care and hygiene and cleanliness. Toothbrushes currently used include a head portion in which bristles are planted, and a handle formed by extending the head portion. . After applying a certain amount of toothpaste on the bristles of the toothbrush, and then holding the handle to rub the brush head in contact with the teeth, the toothpaste is evenly distributed on the tooth and the brush head with the toothpaste rubs the surface of the tooth, brushing the teeth will be.

In order to manage and maintain healthy teeth, it is known to clean 3 times a day, within 3 minutes after meals, or more than 3 minutes, but correct brushing is the key to managing and maintaining teeth healthier than the number and time. Correct brushing means that the brush head is wiped while the bristles are positioned between the teeth and the gum at a 45 degree angle, rotating the bristles from the gums to the teeth, and this correct brushing facilitates the removal of food debris and plaque between the teeth and the teeth, It is known as a method that does not give excessive impact on the teeth and gums.

However, the bristles of a commercially available or used toothbrush are known as correct brushing because they are perpendicular to the head at a right angle so that the contact surface coming into contact with the tooth is flat (a state where the bristles are positioned between the teeth and the gum at a 45 degree angle). Brushing the brush head while rotating from the gum to the tooth) was very inconvenient to brush, as well as the problem of inducing wrong brushing to the teeth and gums.

Incorrect brushing involves brushing the bristles repeatedly from left to right to brush the teeth, which can't completely remove food debris and plaque between the teeth and the teeth and gums. There was a problem that leads to caries and gum disease.

In addition, when the tooth is repeatedly wiped to the left / right for a long time, the front part of the tooth which is easily contacted with the bristles is wiped out more than necessary, so that the dentin of the specific part is worn out.

In addition, the bristles of the toothbrush on the market or used in the form of one large block, there was a problem that can not remove the food waste and plaque present in the deep inside the molar. Recently, in order to compensate for this, a special toothbrush (a toothbrush with a very small head and bristles) that can remove food scraps and plaques deep inside the molar has been developed and marketed. The inconvenience of having a toothbrush was present.

In addition, the present invention is divided into the first bristles and the second bristles bristles planted in the head portion by the partition space, the two bristles to more effectively clean the tooth surface and at the same time the first bristles to wipe the molars inside An object of the present invention is to provide a toothbrush that performs the role of a molar toothbrush.

In order to achieve the object as described above, the present invention, the head portion is formed to be inclined toward one side of about 3 to 20 degrees from the handle so that the bristles are located between the teeth and the gum when the user is holding the toothbrush with the right hand. It can be achieved by a toothbrush characterized by.

In addition, the present invention includes that the bristles planted in the head portion is partitioned into a first bristle and a second bristle by a partition space.

The present invention also includes that the area of the first bristles is configured to have an area smaller than that of the second bristles.

In addition, the present invention includes a block having a plurality of protrusions integrally formed on one side of the head portion located opposite to the inclined direction of the bristles.

In addition, the present invention is formed to be inclined about 30 to 45 degrees in the bristle so that a plurality of protrusions in contact with the teeth and gums when the block is brushed, the height of the block is formed 1/3 smaller in the height of the bristles It includes.

In addition, the present invention is the front portion of the head portion is configured to have a smaller and smaller area than the rear portion of the head portion so as to access to the inside of the oral cavity, the compartment space partitioned by the first bristles and the second bristle head approaches the inside of the mouth And configured to have an area less than the width of the first bristles and the second bristles so as not to contact the tooth portion.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the toothbrush according to the present invention will be described in more detail based on the accompanying drawings.
