The head also includes a top face having a plurality of bristle tufts disposed therein, a back face opposed to the top face, and a tip. An elastomeric support element covers a portion of the back face, and the tip is uncovered by the elastomeric support element.

Each of the first plurality of elastomeric elements extends individually from the elastomeric support element and terminates in a free end.
