Abstract

A toothbrush has a body having one end provided with a toothbrushing element and another opposite end, the body also having at least a part formed so that when the toothbrush is inclined, even close to a horizontal position, it automatically turns back to a substantially vertical orientation to prevent a contact of the toothbrushing element with a supporting surface.
