Abstract: A container for cleaning an orthodontic appliance comprising a first component having a first set of bristles arranged in a first array and a second component having a second set of bristles arranged in a second array, the second set of bristles extending toward the first set of bristles when the container is in a closed condition. The first component is rotatable relative to the second component to clean the orthodontic appliance positioned within the container. The first component can be releasably lockingly engageable with the second component to clean the orthodontic appliance as the first and second sets of bristles frictionally engage the orthodontic appliance on opposite sides.
