Head for an oral care implement and oral care implement

A head (14, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100) for an oral care implement (10), the head (14, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100) comprising a carrier (16) with a mounting surface (18) and a plurality of cleaning elements (20, 201, 202) extending from the mounting surface (18) of the head (14, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100),

• the cleaning elements (20, 201, 202) being arranged in at least two concentric simple closed curves (R1, R2) comprising an outer closed curve (R1) and an inner closed curve (R2), each cleaning element (20, 201, 202) of the outer closed curve (R1) and inner closed curve (R2) having a longitudinal length extension (54, 56) extending from the mounting surface (18) to a free end (32) of the cleaning element (20, 201, 202), and a cross-sectional area (34) extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extension (54, 56), the cross-sectional area (34) being elongated, having a longer axis (Lh1, Lh2) and a shorter axis (Ln1, Ln2), wherein
• the outer closed curve (R1) consists of a plurality of a first type of cleaning elements (201) having an aspect ratio of a length of the longer axis (Lh1) to a length of the shorter axis (Ln1) of at least 2.5, and the sum of the lengths of the longer axes (ΣLh1) of the plurality of first type of cleaning elements (201) is larger than the length of the outer closed curve (R1), the length of the outer closed curve (R1) being defined by the center-points (36) of each cleaning element (201) arranged on the outer closed curve (R1).
