The handle could instead have a spherical, rectangular or octagonal cross-section. The handle contains circumferential grooves (18), as well as several knobs (21) arranged in two rows extending at 45 degrees to each other along the handle to prevent the toothbrush rolling off a surface. The brush may be concave and integrally formed from the handle is used.
