The Dental Pod

Is the Dental Pod really better at cleaning than alternative methods?

Yes, and it’s backed by scientific evidence. Multiple third-party studies have confirmed ultrasonic technology as the most effective cleaning method for oral appliances. In an in-house study comparing the Dental Pod to other common cleaning methods (such as brushing, rinsing, and soaking in sterilising tablet solutions), the Dental Pod was shown to remove significantly more fungus from clear aligners than any other method tested.

Will the Dental Pod cause damage to dental appliances?

No, the ultrasonic cleaning method is completely non-abrasive. It creates millions of microscopic bubbles which gently but thoroughly clean the entire surface of the appliance causing no damage. The Dental pod is designed to safely clean all kinds of materials ranging from metal to aligner plastic.

What types of dental appliances does the Dental Pod clean?

The Dental Pod effectively and safely cleans a wide range of dental appliances, including clear aligners, retainers (both clear and traditional Hawley types), night guards, bite guards, and all industry-available types of dentures. The Dental Pod has been specifically designed and tested to deliver professional-grade cleaning for all these items.

Can the Dental Pod be used to clean multiple appliances?

The Dental Pod is designed for personal use and can effectively clean a pair of appliances from the same user at the same time. We would not recommend using it to clean appliances from multiple patients, as this increases the risk of cross-contamination and infection.

Why doesn't the Dental pod have a UV light?

In certain situations, UV light can effectively sanitise objects, but didn't make sense to integrate into the Dental Pod. The cleaning agents in our Ultrasonic Boosting Tablets are significantly more effective than UV for oral appliances. UV also requires specific design considerations in order to be effective, which would weaken the more important ultrasonic effect.

How should patients use the Dental Pod for optimal cleaning results?

The Dental Pod is designed for safe, effective, and effortless use. It features an automatic stop function that ends the cleaning cycle after 5 minutes, one click is all that’s needed for a thorough clean. Patients should always use cold tap water to avoid the temperature rising above the recommended safe level for appliances. Please note that the Dental pod has an active heat regulation system to mitigate this risk. Patients can run up to two consecutive cycles, always ensuring they replace the water each time (cold). For additional cycles, we recommend waiting at least 5 minutes between each cycle.

Why is the Dental pod better than other ultrasonic cleaners?

As the original ultrasonic cleaner for oral appliances, the Dental Pod was designed and tested through over 100 prototypes to deliver exceptional cleaning across all appliance types. Its advanced transducer, patented sound-reduction, and thermoregulation technology ensure a quiet, efficient, and thorough clean. Our dedicated support team is always available to provide outstanding customer care.

What is the power source for Zima UV Case and how long does the battery last?

Zima UV Case is powered by an efficient, built-in 300 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery. With an incredibly efficient power draw of just 0.2 W, this battery allows patients to use the sterilizer for months between charges. For charging, patients should use the USB Type-C cable that comes with the product. The device has an integrated indicator light to show charging and full battery.

Zima Ultrasonic Boosting Tablets

What are the tablets for?

Our tablets are meticulously formulated with ingredients that enhance cleaning and ensure the safety of patients, Pods, and appliances. They support the ultrasonic cleaning process while eliminating 99.9% of pathogens from oral appliances and leaving a fresh, minty taste. We recommend that patients use a tablet each time they wear their appliance for more than six hours to help control the formation of bacterial biofilms.

How do the tablets work?

Once dissolved in water, our tablets release antimicrobial agents that disinfect appliances of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Containing natural surfactants, our tablets also work to reduce surface tension and assist in the breakdown and removal of debris. This works in conjunction with other agents that help lift stains and discoloration, and natural mint oils that leave a cooling and fresh taste.
