1. A toothbrush assembly comprising:
- a housing;
a first wheel and a second wheel each being rotatably mounted to said housing, said first wheel and said second wheel being coplanar;
a belt being continuous and being positioned on said first and second wheels, wherein said belt rotates said second wheel when said first wheel is rotated, said belt being oriented to rotate parallel to a longitudinal axis of said housing;
a plurality of bristles being attached to said belt and extending away from said first and second wheels, said bristles extending outwardly of said housing;
a handle being attached to said housing, a longitudinal axis of said handle being parallel to a plane in which said first wheel, said second wheel, and said belt are positioned; and
a motor being mounted within said handle, said motor being in mechanical communication with said first wheel, said motor rotating said first wheel when said motor is energized.

Abstract
A teeth cleaning assembly includes a housing. A first wheel and a second wheel are each rotatably mounted to the housing. A belt is continuous and is positioned on the first and second wheels. The belt rotates the second wheel when the first wheel is rotated. A plurality of bristles is attached to the belt and extends away from the first and second wheels such that the bristles extend outwardly of the housing. A handle is attached to the housing and a motor is mounted within the handle. The motor is in mechanical communication with the first wheel. The motor rotates the first wheel when the motor is energized.
