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.

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. 

Zima Dental's ultrasonic boosting tablets are an expert blend of ingredients, meticulously designed to ensure optimal cleanliness of dentures without the risk of bleaching or discolouration over time.

Dental professionals use ultrasonic cleaners in their practice to effectively clean and disinfect oral appliances, dental instruments, and equipment.

While many individuals resort to using toothbrushes to clean their oral appliances, this approach can lead to various negative consequences.

We advise our customers against using certain brands of tablets with their Dental pods, as they may damage the device. Unlike Zima’s ultrasonic boosting tablets, which are specifically formulated for use with the Dental pod, other brands may contain ingredients that form hypochlorite ions when mixed with water.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, or SLS, is a common ingredient in many personal care and cleaning products, including oral appliance tablets. While SLS can effectively clean oral appliances, it also poses potential risks that consumers should be aware of.
