A hand-held cleaning device includes an elongated handle having an operative end. The operative end includes a flattened, relatively small hook, and a flexible neck. A cover can be provided to protect the operative end of the cleaning device. To use the cleaning device, for example, to clean between the palate to the wearer of a palatal expander appliance and portions of the palatal expander appliance, the hook end is slid between the palate of the wearer of the appliance or by another person, and any food or other debris trapped in the space between the appliance and the palate of the wearer can be swept aside, pushed forward or engaged with the hook and pulled from between the palate and the appliance.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de nettoyage à main comprenant un manche allongé pourvu d'une extrémité opératoire. L'extrémité opératoire comporte un crochet aplati relativement petit et un col souple. Un capuchon peut être utilisé pour protéger l'extrémité opératoire du dispositif de nettoyage. Pour utiliser ce dispositif de nettoyage, par exemple, en vue de nettoyer les interstices entre le palais de l'utilisateur d'un appareil d'expansion palatine et les pièces de cet appareil d'expansion palatine, l'utilisateur dudit appareil ou une autre personne fait coulisser l'extrémité à crochet entre le palais de l'utilisateur et l'appareil d'expansion palatine, les aliments ou autres résidus piégés dans les interstices entre l'appareil et le palais de l'utilisateur pouvant être écartés, poussés ou capturés au moyen du crochet et retirés de ces interstices.
