  • Patent number: 4268933
    Abstract: Bristles for a toothbrush arranged in repeating patterns of like and unlike shaped bristles, consisting of clusters of long, soft, bristles alternating with clusters of shorter, pyramidal shaped bristles which shorter bristles begin at the base of the longer clusters of bristles, together with the other two sides of the pyramid facing the width of the brush, all four sides gradually moving in a convex curve to the apex of the pyramidal bristles which is centered from all sides, allowing the bristles to be used along any portion of the teeth, either occlusal, or labial, lingual or buccal either in a horizontal motion along the teeth or in a vertical direction either up or down, which brushing facilitates not only the cleaning of the teeth and between the teeth, but also the massaging and strengthening the gingerval tissue providing both interproximal and periodontal bristles used at the same time.
