half-bristle toothbrush

Wiping your teeth with a bent bristle is one sad excuse for plaque removal. It reminds me of using a paint brush, having bending bristles designed more for the application of materials as opposed to their removal.

Brooms work so much more effectively when one sweeps using the ends of the bristles rather than using the sides or corners of the bristles. Are we not capable of applying these properties towards our own mouths? Are we really more concerned with design modifications like flexible heads and the all-important grippy surface?

I chop my toothbrush bristles in half. And so ecstatic I am with the results, for my teeth have never been cleaner, I doubt I shall ever use an unadulterated toothbrush again.

Happy brushing.

p.s. Advice to new users: No need for incessant frigging. Simply PUSH the bristles over any surface you wish to clean.

Seer Chin never mentioned hardening the bristles, only increasing their efficiency. Half length bristles are still pliable enough to reach under the gum line, and require far fewer strokes to remove plaque. Oh, and, ever try to push a broom along its lateral plane? Very effective.
