Dental Pod

The Dental Pod

Only using a cleaning tablet is like cleaning your teeth with toothpaste but no toothbrush. Tablets alone can only treat the surface of your oral appliance and can't reach the buildup embedded in crevices.

Toothbrushes are abrasive and can create scratches, creating grooves for even more buildup, making your appliance look cloudy. Plus, using a toothbrush won't allow you to clean in hard to reach crevices.
No, the ultrasonic cleaning method is completely non-abrasive. It creates millions of microscopic bubbles, which gently but thoroughly clean the entire surface of the appliance causing no damage.
The Dental Pod can safely clean a wide range of dental appliances. We successfully tested the device on a range of clear aligner (including Invisalign), retainer (clear and Hawley), guard and denture materials.

Dr Chloe Harrington Taylor suggests that the Dental Pod is the best solution for cleaning retainers.

The Dental Pod was tested on 14 different types of guards, from sleep, bite, grind and sports. Click here to read why award winning dentist Dr. Shiva Soleimani recommends the Dental Pod to her dental guard patients.

The Dental Pod is also suitable for cleaning all types of dentures. All industry available types have been tested in the Dental Pod, and clean effectively and safely, as recommended by dentist Dr Charlie Cage.
Yes, the Dental Pod is designed to effectively clean a pair of appliances at the same time.
We focus on the technology that's effective and reliable for thorough, consistent cleaning.

UV light isn't effective when oral appliances are sitting in dirty or cloudy water - even tiny amounts of contaminants block the light. Instead, the Dental Pod uses best-in-class ultrasonic cleaning technology, to physically remove buildup across the whole appliance.
Yes, the cleaning cycle will automatically stop after 5 minutes. One click is all that is needed for a short, thorough and worry-free deep clean of your oral appliance.
Always use cold tap water in your Dental Pod. Using hot water when you start a cleaning cycle means there is a risk that the water temperature can rise above the recommended safe level for some oral appliance manufacturers. Please note that the Dental Pod has an active heat regulation system to mitigate this risk.
Yes, you can run up to two consecutive cycles, ensuring that you have used cold water. If you’d like to run additional cycles, you must replace the water and wait at least 5 minutes to ensure the longevity of your appliance and your Dental Pod.
We recommend using your Dental Pod after each time you have worn your oral appliance. Its ultrasonic method is safe for all appliance types and can be used regularly without causing any damage.
Not at all, the Dental Pod's electricity usage is equivalent to a table light and it only needs 5 minutes to operate per day.
This is not what the Dental Pod was designed, engineered and tested to clean. However, many customers have let us know that they have had success cleaning jewellery. The underlying cleaning method of ultrasonic cavitation is something that has been used to clean jewellery by professionals for decades.

We successfully tested cleaning precious metals in the Dental Pod to ensure customers with grills could clean their appliances safely and effectively.
You can clean your Dental Pod's tank with a Zima Cleaning Wipe, or simply use a gentle soap with water. Use one wipe to remove debris and loose plaque build up after a cleaning cycle finishes.
The Dental Pod can act as a great storage solution for your appliance, but we recommend pouring away the solution before doing this to keep your appliance clean.
Yes, you can share your Dental Pod. To keep appliances as clean as possible, change the water and clean the tank between uses. We also strongly recommend using a Zima Tablet with a cleaning cycle to further help with this.
Dental Pod Pro

Dental Pod Pro

Designed with accessibility in mind, the Dental Pod Pro is for all oral appliance users! This includes aligners (including Invisalign), retainers, guards and dentures, made with materials such as clear and opaque plastic, acrylic, ceramic, metal and more. Its large tank capacity accommodates a wide range of appliances and sizes, even fitting multiple appliances at once.

Whether your appliance is old or new, large or small, stained or cloudy - the Pro is the ultimate answer.
It's the Dental Pod Pro's second cleaning setting. Tap the on button twice to activate it and let Max Clean mode run for 15 minutes, oscillating between high pressure, intense ultrasonic bursts, and consistent ultrasonic cleaning waves. This effectively scrubs your appliance, whilst periodically applying high pressure bursts to penetrate deeper layers of debris. This combination is perfect for tackling stubborn buildup.
The tank and base are separate, detachable components, meaning you can fill, empty and clean the tank without having to unplug from the power source. Simply lift off the tank and place under a tap for filling or emptying, whilst the power inlet on the base can easily be kept away from the water source.

To clean the stainless steel tank, simply use a Protective Cleaning Wipe every few cycles.

Zima UV Case

Through extensive testing and development, we've optimised the intensity and exposure time to each type of UV light, ensuring maximum efficacy without causing any damage to your appliances.
Plastic cases are often flimsy and crack easily, which increases the risk of retainer breakage and loss, leading to costly replacements.

The case is 19mm deep, which is typically enough space to stack a set of clear retainers/aligners, or one large mouth guard. We recommend checking that your appliances are under 85mm wide, 64mm long, and 19mm tall.

To ensure effective cleaning, we advise not overcrowding the case and arranging items in a way that helps the UV light to reach all surfaces.
Its constructed from a robust aluminum alloy (Al-Alloy). This material was chosen due to its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring the device can withstand daily use and travel without compromising its performance or aesthetics.

Inside, the case is made from a combination of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PC (Polycarbonate), both of which are resilient, long-lasting, and safe materials for use in UV devices. They also have a reflective quality which helps to spread the UV light.

Charging is easy and convenient via the modern USB Type-C port. Simply connect the device to a power source using the provided USB-C cable. The device's indicator light lets you know when it's charging and when the battery is fully charged.

It's an premium, durable and easy to operate storage solution that keeps your retainer fresh around the clock. Fitted with an airport security-safe lithium battery, the Zima UV Case is ideal for times spent at home or away!
No, the case should not be filled with water at any time, as this can cause it to break. Small amounts of moisture that may be on your appliance when you place it in the case should not cause any damage to your device.
