The Best Way to Store Your Retainer (and Sanitise It Properly)
If you wear a retainer or any other oral appliance, you’ve likely used a basic plastic storage case. However, these cases can compromise both the condition of your appliance and your overall oral hygiene. This is why we set ourselves the challenge of engineering a safe way to store your retainers, protecting them from breakage and loss.
Plastic cases create an ideal environment for bacteria
Many retainer cases are made from rigid, low-cost plastics that might feel sturdy but are more likely to crack under pressure. As a result, they often can wear down quickly, become brittle, and start to look unhygienic over time.
Most importantly, they create a moist confined environment for bacteria to grow. Over time, this bacterial build-up can degrade the material of your retainer and increase your risk of oral hygiene problems, such as halitosis (bad breath), tooth decay and even gum disease.
Meet the innovative storage case engineered to do more
More than just a durable storage case, the Zima UV Case was engineered to sanitise your retainers at home or on the go. It’s fitted with ultraviolet light technology to effectively clean retainers while they’re being stored, protecting both your retainers and your oral health.
Storing in the Zima UV Case
Its lightweight aluminum alloy shell and secure magnetic closure offers robust and reliable protection against damage and loss. Designed to be both lightweight and compact, the Zima UV Case is trusted by thousands of customers for both everyday storage and keeping retainers safe when travelling.
Cleaning on the go with the Zima UV Case
The Zima case comes with in-built dual action UVA and UVC cleaning technology, widely used in clinical environments for its proven efficacy in reducing bacteria. The UV light operates at a wavelength of 220–260 nanometres with a powerful energy output above 50 joules per square centimetre. This UV light targets harmful bacteria and pathogens proven to cause bad odours, oral health issues and the breakdown of your retainer material.
