A first bent portion formed at the end of the notch, a second bent portion that folds the central grip portion in half in the length direction, and a second bent portion that folds the grip portion in the outer peripheral portion in the length direction. to 2
Between the third folding part to be folded, the brush integrally molded on the tip protruding part of the grip part in the central part, and the outer central part and one inner end of the grip part in the outer peripheral part. It is characterized by being made up of threads stretched across.

The present invention also provides a plate-shaped toothbrush body with a tip portion formed to have a small width and which can be folded into at least two parts, and a plate-like toothbrush body that can be folded in at least two parts, and a portion of the toothbrush body that is folded in the same direction as the toothbrush body. It is characterized by consisting of a brush that is integrally molded with.

Further, the present invention provides a plate-shaped toothbrush body whose tip end is formed with a small width dimension, a brush integrally molded on the side surface of the toothbrush body near the tip end, and a separate body between the toothbrush body and the toothbrush body. It consists of a plate-shaped thread toothpick body with a recess formed in the distal end that is integrally formed through a possible connection part, and a thread that is attached so as to be stretched over the part of the thread toothpick body near the opening of the recess. It is characterized by becoming.
