Zima Learning Zone

Oral appliance users will often face challenges when trying to use notoriously unreliable and flimsy plastic storage cases to protect their retainers, aligners, dentures and guards. That’s why we engineered the Zima protective case, which works hard to look after both your appliance and your overall oral health. With meaningful design and two years of development, the Zima UV case carry case combines form, function and safety into one compact device. 

Invisalign aligners are becoming increasingly popular as a discreet teeth straightening alternative to traditional braces. By incorporating simple yet effective cleaning practices into your daily routine, you can ensure that your Invisalign aligners remain clean, clear, and comfortable.

Dental hygienist Catherine Staffeldt (@honesthygienist) shares her go-to method for keeping retainers clean, fresh, and bacteria-free. She explains why traditional cleaning methods like brushing and tablets fall short, and why she recommends the Dental Pod Pro to all her patients. 

Meet the range of specialised Zima accessories designed to pair with the Dental Pod for a deeper, more complete clean. 

While aligners offer a discreet and effective solution for straightening teeth, they can also come with a unique set of challenges, particularly with regards to your oral health. Poor aligner maintenance and cleaning can increase the risk of developing white spot lesions on your teeth, indicating enamel demineralisation.

Did you know dirty retainers can ruin your sleep with infections, pain and bad taste? The Dental Pod deep cleans to kill bacteria and improve your sleep. 

While ultrasonic cleaners like the Dental Pod are designed to be gentle on aligners, not all ultrasonic cleaners are created equal.

Oral appliances, including aligners, retainers, and night guards, are crafted from medical-grade plastics or acrylics. Despite the durability of these materials, exposure to certain chemicals found in some tablets can induce degradation over time.
