I decided to share this image for the upcoming #macromondays theme called #plastic
What you see is the flexible plastic Handle of a Toothbrush.
A toothbrush is a small, handheld tool designed for cleaning teeth, gums, and tongue. It typically consists of two main parts:
Handle – The long, often ergonomically shaped part you hold. It can be made of plastic, bamboo, or other materials, and may include grips or rubber sections for better control.
Head – The top part that holds bristles, which are the fine, flexible strands used to scrub the teeth. The bristles are usually made of nylon and are arranged in rows. They can vary in texture (soft, medium, or hard) depending on user preference and dental needs.
A toothbrush is a common oral hygiene tool used primarily for cleaning teeth and gums. Here are several use cases for a toothbrush, categorized by purpose:
Primary Use Case
Daily Dental Hygiene
Function: Removes food particles, plaque, and bacteria from teeth and gums.
Frequency: Recommended twice daily.
Tools Used: Manual or electric toothbrush with fluoride toothpaste.
Secondary/Additional Use Cases
Tongue Cleaning
Some toothbrushes have a textured back for cleaning the tongue to reduce bad breath.
Braces/Orthodontic Care
Special brushes (e.g., orthodontic toothbrushes or interdental brushes) are used to clean around brackets and wires.
Denture Cleaning
Denture-specific toothbrushes are used for cleaning artificial teeth.
Gum Stimulation
Gentle brushing massages gums and can improve circulation and gum health.
Non-Oral Use Cases (Unconventional but Common)
Cleaning Small or Delicate Items
Electronics (keyboards, camera lenses)
Jewelry
Hard-to-reach corners in household objects
Beauty and Grooming
Eyebrow grooming
Hair dye application in small areas
Exfoliating lips or dry skin spots
Art and Crafts
Texturing paint or clay
Cleaning small parts of tools or models

Les dents sont plus dégagées après le traitement d'orthodontie. Les latérales étroites ont été élargies après le traitement d'orthodontie.
Lower teeth are more visible after orthodontics. Small laterals were enlarged after the orthodontic corrections.

A plaster cast of my teeth at 8-1/2 years old. Plaster casts are used to document and monitor the progress of orthodontic treatment. Fortunately, thanks to that treatment, my teeth are no longer crowded and turned like they once were.
Jet was in the mood for receiving a lot of face scritches and providing kitty kisses to my fingers. (They can’t all have been licking something tasty from them.) You can also see her orthodontic imperfection (“Hapsburg Cat.”)
This has been a restrained week for (reasons) for this photographer, and so my indoor-only cats probably didn’t get a “Perfect Day” (Happy Caturday 5 July 2027).
In the days of yore, the Changpa nomads of Ladakh would be wearing traditional sheep or yak wool outer wear but now a days, the windcheaters and the pullovers have invaded their lives as well. I guess every gram of weight gets magnified a thousand times at those altitudes where the air is rare and the cold wind sucks what ever little you can manage to gulp in.
This nomad with a gapped orthodontic visage tells us that maybe there is a perpetual shortage of Vitamin C in their diets and a a result their teeth seem to not flourish so much in life. His smile and laughter inspite of that is infectious and full of life.
Cheers!

my "quick stop" at the periodontist ended up ruining my weekend camping plans with a gum trim procedure.
yeah, sounds like fun for a Friday afternoon...
(photo taken before the trim - my bling, eh hem, I mean my precious implants, are hidden behind all that gum)
my outrageous implants shined, primed, and bloody.
(photo taken immediately after the gum trim which released me to proceed treatment with the other doctor-FINALLY! I sacrificed my camping trip just to get closer to finishing this tiny part of my dental nightmare.)
Luckily I've had almost every part of my body pierced...
Maybe it was just to prepare myself for my lengthy implant procedures...
many more to come...or should I say, GO
Periodontists are so fucking awesome! I mean they use crazy carpenter like tools! He used a hex wrench to take the caps off my implants and then used a punch (kinda like a paper punch) to push down on the implants...and chop off the gum.
(From WSJ, 10-8-22). For decades, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., has counted four Vermeer paintings in its collection. As of Friday, that number is three.
One of its most famous works, “Girl with a Flute,” is not, in fact, a painting by the Dutch artist, museum experts have concluded.
However, it was painted by someone who appeared to have intimate knowledge of Johannes Vermeer’s habits and techniques—a potentially groundbreaking discovery about an artist who was always believed to have worked in isolation, the museum said.
The museum announced its discovery the day before its Saturday opening of “Vermeer’s Secrets.” The new exhibition details the change of status for “Girl with a Flute,” while showcasing new information art historians uncovered about Vermeer’s creative process.
There are only about 35 verified works still in existence from the Dutch master, who was born in 1632 in the Netherlands.
Experts used different scientific imaging techniques combined with microscopic analysis to break down how Vermeer constructed his works. He would start usually with broad strokes and quickly add more coats for his characteristically smooth surfaces.
The team compared “Girl with a Flute” to Vermeer’s “Girl with the Red Hat,” which experts had believed were a pair because of their similar size and because they were both painted on wood, a rarity for the artist.
Under the microscope, however, the team found striking differences between the two works. “Girl with a Flute” lacked Vermeer’s precision and control, they said, and the final coat had coarsely ground pigments—nothing like the Dutch artist’s refined and delicate surfaces.
Yet the micropigment analysis showed both compositions had used the same tints, including faint green shadows on the face, a characteristic of Vermeer’s work.
Exactly who painted “Girl with a Flute” remains one of Vermeer’s secrets. It could have been a pupil or apprentice, an amateur who paid Vermeer for lessons, a freelance painter hired on a project-by-project basis, or even a member of Vermeer’s family, according to the museum.
But the discovery revises the long-held belief among art historians that Vermeer painted alone, said Kaywin Feldman, director of the National Gallery of Art, in a statement Friday.
“The existence of other artists working with Johannes Vermeer is perhaps one of the most significant new findings about the artist to be discovered in decades. It fundamentally changes our understanding of Vermeer,” Ms. Feldman said.

Take a photograph that will embarrass you and make your audience uncomfortable.
– Erik Kessels
In spite of orthodontic treatment as a teenager my teeth are very uneven and have been a source of difficulty and embarrassment much of my life. My dentist keeps patching them up and tells me that having natural teeth, even like mine, is better than the alternatives. Ho hum…
One more episode of The soap opera "Braces". I got now Damon System Braces self ligating (fancy).
Low friction, more comfortable and less appoitments hmm. No more elastic ties...so far so good.
While I don’t think my mother would be remotely proud of me looking like this, she WOULD be proud of my teeth! My parents spent a fortune on orthodontic treatment when I was young, and as much as I hated it at the time, I’m glad they did. I have been using a whitening treatment on my teeth over the past few weeks, and I didn’t realize how much difference it had made until I wore dark lipstick and saw the contrast! I have to say, I’m quite happy with my smile nowadays! Dressing this way certainly makes me smile, and it’s nice that I can look at my pics and appreciate all the work that was done on my teeth over the years.
It's easy! Simply insert the spatula end of the flosser under your archwire and press it against your teeth. Very important: this makes the floss taut. Then slide the floss between your teeth. Viola!

I think i look a little like a pregnant teenager not because of the age (i'm 30) but because of how i look with the orthodontic braces ;o)
The orthodontic pictures seem to be popular, so here is another one- a girl with headgear who doesn't seem to be too happy wearing it.
Nairy Baghramian (Isfahan, Iran 1971-)
For this series of delicate and surreal sculptures. The artist envisioned, mouth-like space, adorned with metal structures and smoothwhite forms that resemble the equipment of dentistry, orthodontic braces and teeth. There is a sense here of contrasting forces and materials that are bound together in an ongoing negotiation of position. The metaphor of the gallery as a body suggests that this is not a neutral space, but rather one to be inhabited, activated and interrupted.
