HOW IT WORKS.

Just add water? Let us explain how it works...

ULTRASONIC WAVES

High-frequency ultrasonic waves are generated in the water inside the Dental Pod

Cavitation (nano-bubbles)

This creates millions of nano-scale bubbles (called cavitation), which burst and release energy , removing plaque , bacteria and any other debris.

Bacterial breakdown

This release of high energy also breaks down cell membranes, destroying bacteria and protecting your oral health

Simple steps for a deeply cleaned and hygienic dental appliance

Step 1

Fill with water

Remove the lid, fill the Dental Pod with water up to the max line and plug it into a wall socket.

The science behind the magic

The Dental Pod uses high-frequency 42,000 Hz ultrasonic waves to vibrate the solution and produce millions of nano-scale bubbles. These bubbles rapidly collapse, releasing a large amount of energy, breaking down bacteria and plaque while being non abrasive to your dental appliance.

Ultrasonic cleaning technology is safe and reliable and has been widely used in laboratory, commercial, industrial and other fields for decades.

What can the Dental Pod clean?

The Dental Pod has been specifically designed by our UK scientists to clean a wide range of oral appliances including all types of clear aligners, retainers (including those with metal), mouth guards, dentures, bite guards (night guards), sleep devices, toothbrush heads and more.

Why does the Dental Pod not have UV?

UV light isn't effective when the appliance is sitting in dirty or cloudy water. The light can't reach all surfaces because even very small amounts of debris in the water blocks it.

Instead, the Dental Pod uses best-in-class ultrasonic cleaning technology, which physically removes buildup and works reliably across the whole surface, even in hard to reach areas.

Got questions? We've got answers

Only using a cleaning tablet is like cleaning your teeth with toothpaste but no toothbrush. Tablets will kill some of the bacteria on your appliance but the chemicals won't penetrate any deeper than the very surface level. Deep bacteria and plaque will remain - keeping your appliance looking cloudy, feeling dirty, and emitting unpleasant odours.

Toothbrushes cause abrasive damage to dental appliances resulting in scratches, discomfort and a cloudy look. Additionally, a toothbrush will not clean into every crevice leaving bacteria, plaque and grime on your oral appliance.

Not at all, the ultrasonic cleaning method is completely non-abrasive. It creates millions of micro bubbles which softly but throughly clean the entire surface of the appliance causing no damage. The Dental Pod is designed to safely clean all kinds of materials from metal to aligner plastic.

Yes, the Dental Pod can effectively clean clear aligners and Invisalign. All types of clear aligners have been thoroughly tested in the Dental Pod with excellent and safe results. The Dental Pod will also be great for cleaning your retainer after aligner treatment.

Yes, the Dental Pod can effectively clean oral retainers. The Dental Pod was specifically designed and tested to clean both modern clear retainers and more traditional retainers with metal.

Yes, the Dental Pod can effectively clean both night guards and bite guards. The Dental Pod has been specifically engineered and tested to clean more than 14 types of guards.

The recommended cleaning schedule will vary with each oral appliance. We encourage you to check the instructions provided by your dentist or orthodontist. The Dental Pod is able to accommodate any recommended cleaning schedule.

Yes, the Dental Pod is FSA/HSA eligible. We have confirmed this directly with a range of providers.

Clean your Dental Pod's stainless steel tank with a Zima Protective Cleaning Wipe. Use one wipe to remove debris and loose plaque build up after a cleaning cycle finishes. Make sure to spread the wipe's antimicrobial protective film across the whole surface area to protect against airborne bacteria between cycles.

Definitely, the Dental Pod is designed to effectively clean two appliances at the same time.

This is not what the Dental Pod was designed, engineered and tested to clean. However, many customers have let us know that they have had success cleaning jewelry. The underlying cleaning method of ultrasonic cavitation is something that has been used to clean jewelry by professionals for decades. We successfully tested cleaning precious metals in the Dental Pod to ensure customers with grills could clean their appliances safely and effectively.

This is an awesome little machine. I couldn't clean my mouth guard enough, and this little engine that could got it done. Thank you! Wonderful product!

The product works really well. I thought that using the tablets that I had been using for years were enough. Even without a tablet, the vibration sequence seems to do a better job. The real game changer is when you use a tablet with this device — your retainer comes out looking crystal clear every time.

My husband got me a Zima pod for Christmas and I have been loving it! It's been so extremely easy to use, and for someone with ADHD is easier to remember than to do tablets in a cup. The Zima took off all the buildup in two doubled-up sessions.

My Hawley retainer was getting really gross and had this white buildup. I used the cleaning tablets and ran the dental pod according to the directions and the difference was crazy. Now when I wake up I toss my retainer in while I brush my teeth.

If you are looking for hassle-freeway to keep your Invisalign trays or retainer spotless, Zima dental pod is a fantastic choice. I strongly recommend the Zima dental pod to anyone who wants an effective, compact solution for keeping their dental appliances in top shape.

I had Invisalign for a week when I decided I needed a better way to clean and place my trays while eating. This is a great way to clean the trays while I eat. You can see in the water and on the trays how much debris is coming off each time. I am so glad to have this!

I was skeptical at first but it far exceeded my expectations. I cleaned the bottom tray first and compared it to the uncleaned top tray. I couldn't believe it. It was amazing. One of the few products that live up to the hype.

Absolute game changer!! I wish I got this years earlier. I'm honestly disgusted with how my retainers were before my Zima. After one use it looked immediately better. So worth the money and super easy to use.

Very good! My first day using it, but I think my old night guard will be completely clean after a few times.
