Finding the right solution for cleaning dentures, aligners, retainers, and mouth guards can often seem like a daunting task. Traditional methods, such as denture tablets, have been the go-to for many. However, they come with their own set of limitations, including inefficacy in removing all bacteria and potential harm to you and your appliance over time. 

People clean their aligners in many different ways and it's still being studied which method is the most effective. A common question among aligner patients  is: "Do Dental pods really work in keeping aligners clean?". To address this, we conducted a detailed experiment comparing five different aligner cleaning techniques.

See below some easy steps to take care of your Dental pod. We recommend you to follow these dos and don'ts for a long lasting unit and effective cleaning.

During the development of the Dental pod, 100s of different cleaning cycle time and structure combinations were tested to ensure the best possible efficacy and user-experience. 

Conventional techniques for cleaning oral appliances are ineffective at eliminating bacteria and residue that pose a threat to your oral health. 

Hundreds of dentists around the country (myself included) recommend the Dental Pod to their patients. Its unparalleled effectiveness and ease of use make it an easy choice for anyone who regularly uses a snore guard. 

Cleaning your toothbrush should be as routine as brushing your teeth. Regular sanitising using the Dental Pod, can significantly reduce the risk of bacterial build-up, ensuring your toothbrush head is safe and effective for each use.

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