How to Clean Oral Appliances: The Easy Way to Upgrade Your Routine
Keeping on top of your oral hygiene when you wear retainers, aligners, guards or dentures is a necessity for looking after your oral health. Making sure your oral appliance is clean not only reduces the growth of harmful bacteria, but protects its integrity and lifespan. To keep your oral appliance in optimal condition, we created a range of accessories designed to pair with the ultrasonic cleaning power of your Dental Pod or Dental Pod Pro.
If you have a Dental Pod, we recommend these three oral hygiene essentials to make the most of your Pod, boost its ultrasonic cleaning effect and keep it performing at its best.
Boost Your Pod’s Clean: Zima Ultrasonic Boosting Tablets
Many drug-store oral appliance cleansing tablets contain harmful chemicals such as Sodium-Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which can be irritative to your gums and teeth.
That’s why our science team developed our Ultrasonic Boosting Tablets, the world’s first tablets specifically formulated to aid the cavitation cleaning effect created by ultrasonic waves. Using an Ultrasonic Boosting Tablet with your Dental Pod supercharges its cleaning power.
What makes our patented tablets stand out?
- Naturally-derived surfactants (from coconut) reduce the surface tension in the water, helping the ultrasonic waves reach every surface on your retainers
- Safe for you, your Pod and your oral appliance
Plus, using a tablet leaves a refreshing minty aftertaste on your retainers!
How to use:
Fill your Pod's tank with water, drop in a single Zima Ultrasonic Boosting Tablet, and submerge your appliance. Press the button to start the 5-minute cycle, and let the dual-action power of cavitation and effervescence do all the hard work for you.
Our Ultrasonic Boosting Tablets are available for purchase as a one-time restock, or with 10% savings if you subscribe. Simply pick a plan that works for you!
Protect What Cleans For You: Zima Protective Cleaning Wipes
After a cleaning cycle in the Dental Pod, loose plaque, buildup and debris can be left in your Pod's tank. To protect the device that looks after your oral appliance, Zima Protective Cleaning Wipes deliver an effortless, planet-friendly refresh:
- Antimicrobial Shield: Leaves a micro-thin film of natural Aloe and Oat extracts to help protect the stainless-steel tank from airborne bacteria between uses.
- Minty Fresh: Infused with mint extract to eliminate residual odours and leave a fresh scent.
- 100% Biodegradable Fibres: Crafted from alcohol-free, all-viscose cellulose fibres that are gentle on the planet.
- Tank-Safe Formula: Free from harsh chemicals to preserve the structural integrity of your Pod's interior.
How to use:
Every 2–3 cleaning cycles, simply empty the water from the tank, grab a single Zima wipe, and spend 10 to 15 seconds wiping down the bottom and sides of the tank. Just like that, your Dental Pod is fully refreshed and ready for your next clean!
Combat Bad Breath: Zima Fresh
Whether you wear an oral appliance or not, fresh breath shouldn’t have to be an afterthought! While wearing your retainer, biofilm builds up causing unpleasant smells. Traditional mouthwashes can alter the oral microbiome by indiscriminately wiping out both good and bad bacteria, but Zima Fresh spray is engineered to combat bad breath at the source, while actively supporting your smile.
- On-the-Go Portability: A sleek, pocket-sized spray designed to fit seamlessly whenever and wherever you need it. Each pack comes with a refillable bottle and three 10 ml cartridges.
- Xylitol-based and sugar-free formula: Carefully formulated with oral health-safe ingredients that are clinically proven to inhibit the growth of cavity and odour-causing bacteria.
How to use:
Give each side of your retainers, aligners, guards or dentures 1 to 2 sprays of Zima Fresh before putting them back in your mouth. Alternatively, you can spray it directly into your mouth as a rapid breath freshener. Just like that, your mouth and your retainer are revitalised!
From a supercharged ultrasonic clean at home to a refreshing minty burst on the go, your ultimate oral hygiene refills are just a few clicks away. Elevate your daily routine, protect your device, and stay fresh!
