When it comes to caring for your aligners, retainers, night guards, or other oral appliances, maintaining cleanliness is critical to your oral health. Enter the Dental Pod and its successor, the Dental Pod Pro - two products designed with ultrasonic technology to help you look after your oral appliances. Building on the innovations of the Dental Pod, the Dental Pod Pro introduces cutting-edge advancements that make it the world’s ultimate ultrasonic cleaning machine. If you’re not sure which one you need, here’s a detailed comparison to help you understand which is best for you.

Dental Pod: reliable and effective

The Dental Pod has earned a reputation for offering an easy and effective way to clean oral appliances. Using ultrasonic waves, it removes bacteria, plaque, and debris without needing to scrub or use harsh chemicals. Key highlights of the Dental Pod include:

Ultrasonic cleaning technology
The device uses 42,000 Hz ultrasonic waves to break down grime and bacteria.

Compact and user-friendly
With a sleek, modern design, it fits easily on your bathroom counter and is simple to use.

Affordable and accessible
The Dental Pod has always offered great value for oral appliance users looking for an everyday cleaner.

For many users, the Dental Pod meets daily cleaning needs with efficiency and ease, and has done since 2019. It’s perfect for those looking to maintain the hygiene of their oral appliances. However, if you're looking for a more powerful cleaning experience or have older or multiple appliances, the Dental Pod Pro is the next step up, with the latest technology.

Introducing the Dental Pod Pro: next level cleaning power

The Dental Pod Pro represents the future of oral appliance care. With a design that’s taken two years to develop, test and refine, this upgraded version builds on the strengths of the original Dental Pod while introducing several key improvements.

Here’s what makes the Dental Pod Pro stand out:

Increased cleaning power
The Dental Pod Pro uses an enhanced frequency range of 42,000 - 47,000 Hz, delivering deeper and more thorough cleaning. Its advanced ultrasonic technology helps break down even the toughest plaque and bacteria build-up, ensuring a more effective clean for both visible and microscopic build-up.

Max Clean mode
A significant upgrade is the Max Clean mode, which provides a deeper clean for long-term stains and stubborn biofilm, such as plaque and bacterial buildup. This mode is designed to tackle tougher grime that may accumulate over time, ensuring your appliance stays in pristine condition, no matter how long you’ve been using it​.

Modular design for ease of use
The Dental Pod Pro boasts a removable tank made from antibacterial steel, which not only helps eliminate bacteria but also makes the unit easier to refill, clean, maintain and use day-to-day. 

Larger capacity
The Pro version offers increased size and capacity, making it easier to clean multiple or larger appliances. Its 190ml tank ensures sufficient room for a variety of appliances, making appliance care accessible to all.

Premium design
Designed with premium materials such as antibacterial nickel-plated steel and a durable ABS/silicone casing, the Dental Pod Pro is built to last. It not only performs at a higher level but also looks and feels more premium. 

Tailored for long-term and everyday use
The Dental Pod Pro was engineered for individuals who wear their appliances daily or have older devices. With its enhanced cleaning power and Max Clean mode, the Pro version is a must-have for those who want to maintain optimal oral hygiene throughout their oral appliance journey.

Which one is right for you?

  • Choose the Dental Pod if you need a reliable, budget-friendly solution for everyday cleaning. It’s simple, efficient, and effective at maintaining cleanliness for your oral appliances.
  • Choose the Dental Pod Pro if you have an older appliance, wear your retainer or night guard daily, or if you want a product that offers the most advanced cleaning technology available. Its modular design, improved cleaning power, and Max Clean mode make it the perfect choice for users seeking a long-term solution to oral appliance care and personal health.

Ultimately, both products are designed to protect your oral health by keeping your appliances clean, but the Dental Pod Pro takes that care to the next level, using the most advanced ultrasonic technology and with user-friendly features. Whether you’re just starting your orthodontic journey or you’ve been wearing an appliance for years, the Dental Pod Pro is the best investment you can make to maintain a hygienic appliance and support your oral health.
