What is the Platypus Orthodontic Toothbrush?
The Platypus Orthodontic Toothbrush is a manual toothbrush designed for people with braces. Platypus uses shorter inner bristles for better access over brackets and archwires, plus a silicone grip for comfort.
How are the bristles arranged on the Platypus Orthodontic Toothbrush?
The Platypus Orthodontic Toothbrush has inner bristles that are 2 mm shorter than the outer ones. This layout gives better access over brackets and archwires while the outer bristles reach around them.
Which bristle firmness does the Platypus Orthodontic Toothbrush use?

Can the Platypus toothbrush clean resin braces?
Yes. Platypus says the medium inner bristles on its Orthodontic Toothbrush assist with cleaning both stainless steel and resin appliances. The toothbrush lists the USA as its country of origin.
