A toothbrush configured to have more than one bristle group comprising:

• a handle, said handle having a first end and a second end, said handle further including a head proximate said first end, said handle having an upper surface and a lower surface, said handle further including a middle portion intermediate said first end and said second end, said handle being manufactured from a rigid material;
• a first bristle group, said first bristle group being proximate said first end of said handle, said first bristle group including a plurality of nylon bristles, said first bristle group extending downward from said lower surface of said handle proximate said first end;
• a divider, said divider being proximate said first bristle group distal to said first end, said divider being integrally formed with said handle, said divider extending downward from said first end and being perpendicular thereto, said divider being parallel with said first bristle group, said divider having a first surface and a second surface, said divider having a lower end and an upper end;
• a second bristle group, said second bristle group being secured to said second surface of divider and configured to extend towards said second end of said handle, said second bristle group being perpendicular to said divider, said second bristle group having a plurality of bristles, said plurality of bristles having a first end and a second end, said second end being distal to said divider;
• a first pad, said first pad being secured to said handle on said lower surface thereof, said first pad being proximate said second ends of the bristles of said second bristle group;
• and
• a recess, said recess being formed in said lower surface of said handle, said recess being located above said second bristle group and forward of said first pad.

A toothbrush having two bristle groups wherein the toothbrush is configured to provide improved cleaning of the rear surface of central and lateral incisors comprising:

• a handle, said handle having a first end and a second end, said handle having an upper surface and a lower surface, said handle further including a middle portion intermediate said first end and said second end, said handle being manufactured from a rigid material;
• a first bristle group, said first bristle group being proximate said first end of said handle, said first bristle group including a plurality of nylon bristles, said first bristle group extending downward from said lower surface of said handle proximate said first end;
• a divider, said divider being proximate said first bristle group distal to said first end, said divider being integrally formed with said handle, said divider extending downward from said first end and being perpendicular thereto, said divider being parallel with said first bristle group, said divider having a first surface and a second surface, said divider having a lower end and an upper end;
• a second bristle group, said second bristle group being secured to said second surface of divider and configured to extend towards said second end of said handle, said second bristle group being perpendicular to said divider, said second bristle group having a plurality of bristles, said plurality of bristles having a first end and a second end, said second end being distal to said divider;
• a first pad, said first pad being secured to said handle on said lower surface thereof, said first pad being proximate said second ends of the bristles of said second bristle group;
• a recess, said recess being formed in said lower surface of said handle, said recess being located above said second bristle group and forward of said first pad.
