Qualified toothbrushes have the following characteristics:

1.The brush head is small for free rotation in the oral cavity, especially behind the oral cavity;

2. The brush bristles are arranged reasonably, generally 10 to 12 bundle lengths, 3 to 4 bundle widths, and there is a certain horizontal spacing between the bundles, which is not only conducive to effective removal of dental plaque, but also makes the toothbrush product itself easy to clean;

The hardness of the brush hair is determined by the following aspects: the type and type of the brush hair; Diameter and length of bristles; The number of hair bundles and the size of the pore diameter of the grafted hair; Number and elasticity of each tuft of bristles.
