A toothbrush head includes a cleaning element carrier and one or more bristle tufts, each consisting of a plurality of bristle filaments connected to one another via a fuse ball. The fuse balls are embedded in the cleaning element carrier such that the balls are completely enclosed and the bristle filaments protrude from the carrier's front surface. At least two fuse balls are located at different levels in the carrier.
