Abstract

This invention provides a handle for a tooth cleaning member convenient for use in which the angle of the tooth cleaning member can be easily adjusted for cleaning teeth only by controlling the force for grasping the grip part. The handle comprises a support portion made of an elastic material, and a pressed portion shorter than the support portion. When the pressed portion is pressed against the support portion, the support portion is transformed to increase its curvature.
