The Best Way to Store Your Retainer (and Keep It Clean)
If you wear a retainer or any other oral appliance, you’ve likely used a basic plastic storage case. However, these cases can compromise both the condition of your appliance and your overall oral hygiene. This is why we set ourselves the challenge of engineering a safe way to store your retainers, protecting them from breakage and loss.
Plastic cases create an ideal environment for bacteria
Many retainer cases are made from rigid, low-cost plastics that might feel sturdy but are more likely to crack under pressure. As a result, they often can wear down quickly, become brittle, and start to look unhygienic over time.
Most importantly, they create a moist confined environment where buildup can develop over time. Over time, this bacterial build-up can degrade the material of your retainer and increase your risk of oral hygiene problems, such as halitosis (bad breath), tooth decay and even gum disease.
Meet the innovative storage case engineered to do more
More than just a durable storage case, the Zima UV Case was engineered to support your retainer care routine at home or on the go. It’s fitted with ultraviolet light technology to help keep your appliance clean while it’s being stored.

The Zima case comes with in-built dual action UVA and UVC light technology, commonly used in a range of environments. The UV light operates at a wavelength of 220–260 nanometres with a defined energy output. This technology supports maintaining a clean appliance between uses when stored in the case.
