An oral-hygiene implement having a housing, a first carrier on which at least one first oral-treatment element is mounted, a second carrier on which at least one second oral-treatment element is mounted, wherein at least the first carrier element is mounted for driven oscillatory movement with a peak amplitude value relative to the housing and wherein the first and second oral-treatment elements are arranged such that the first oral-treatment element contacts the second oral-treatment element at least once during each oscillation period of the first carrier at a contact amplitude value smaller than the peak amplitude value and moves the second oral-treatment element out of its initial position until the peak amplitude value is reached.
