SIDE TO SIDE BEND
MOLARS AND BEYOND
The toughest spot to brush in the entire mouth is the last
tooth in all 4 corners. A sure place I would always find
plaque during cleanings was behind the molars, especially
the upper molars. Because of the shape of our mouth
and jaw, access to this area is limited. The only way to
reach behind your molars is to close down slightly and
shift your lower jaw left or right, (depending on
which side your brushing) until your toothbrush could
comfortably reach.

I thought if the toothbrush could bend slightly from
side to side, how much easier it would be to adapt
around the curves and corners and ultimately
remove plaque in the hardest to reach spots. I was right!
That side to side bend was the trick! Easy access to the
most difficult spots, behind the molars and that slight
bend allows for adaptability around the curved canine
areas, as well.
