    a flossing head; and

    motion translation means having a driver arm and a driver element, said driver arm exhibiting a length dimension and having one end coupled with the flossing head, the driver element being responsive to the rotary motion to impart to the driver arm and the flossing head both an oscillatory motion along said length dimension and a wobbling motion which causes said one end of said driver arm to translate about a closed, nonlinear path that lies in a plane transverse to said length dimension.
