The present invention is concerned with an oral care implement having a head section with a carrier element that is mounted for driven movement, a base section having a transmission element, an at least partly elastically deformable neck section arranged between the head section and the base section, wherein the transmission element is coupled to the carrier element for driving the carrier element into an oscillatory movement with an oscillation amplitude peak value, and wherein the neck section is arranged as a parallel spring arrangement that deforms when a load above a first threshold load value is applied at the head section along a use direction such that the angular relationship between the head section and the base section is preserved and the head section and the base section move relatively to each other resulting in a reduction of the oscillation amplitude peak value.
