I'm basically envisioning somekind of mouthpiece -- maybe similar to the flexible plastic ones that athletes use -- which is chock-full-o bristles. Once you put in your bristled mouth piece (can have one for the upper teeth, one for the lower teeth, or one that does both at once), you simply bite down
and move around your jaw to scrub your teeth clean -- leaving your hands free to do...whatever else you'd want to do while brushing your teeth.

You're supposed to brush your teeth for *two* minutes, I think. That's enough time to read a halfbakery item! |

(Of course, there's no reason I couldn't read stuff while brushing with a normal toothbrush, assuming the stuff were projected on my bathroom wall or something.) |

People with dentures have already cracked this problem. |

This is baked, believe it or not... I found a website about it when I was looking to prove that the toothpaste in the handle idea was baked. It was exactly as you describe. |

Design in bite drive, scatterbanding of the torque produced to the whole appliance, and a cool 30-mule-team whip crack sound effect and then I'll want one. |

If you can do it at the same time as something else, that's 2 more minutes in bed. I already walk round the house doing stuff while brushing my teeth, so this would give me 2 hands free to do stuff. Yay! |

I usually find wandering out to the kitchen to listen to the radio while brushing provides distraction enough. |
|
| |
Reading while brushing is quite doable, too, as long as the book's not too bulky. |

One of the girls in Britanny Spears new video had
one of these. I think that is what it was. It was
strapped to her head, which makes sense leverage
wise. |

I keep reading this as "Hairless Toothbrush"... |
