Oral appliance users will often face challenges when trying to use notoriously unreliable and flimsy plastic storage cases to protect their retainers, aligners, dentures and guards. That’s why we engineered the Zima Go protective case, which works hard to look after both your appliance and your overall oral health. With meaningful design and two years of development, the Zima Go carry case combines form, function and safety into one compact device. Each case comes with a number of stand-out design features, such as in-built UV sterilisation technology, durable construction and its unique lid closure. We are often asked about how the Zima Go lid works and what makes it different from the standard plastic alternative, so we'll shed some light on how this smart lid makes using the case and protecting your retainer an effortless experience.

Secure magnetic closure

Our team of engineers designed a secure magnet-powered closure to provide an effortless and reliable solution to the difficulties of traditional plastic cases, which come with fragile clasps that can easily break or fail. The strong magnet not only enhances the durability of the case but also provides peace of mind, knowing that your oral appliance is safely stored.

Sliding motion 

Designed for ease of use, Zima Go’s sliding lid means that you can open and close the case with a simple one-handed motion. Easy to grip and operate, the Zima Go makes storing oral appliances hassle-free and accessible to everyone, including those with impaired mobility or limited dexterity. The simplicity of the sliding lid means no more fiddling with stubborn clasps - just a seamless, user-friendly experience.

Comprehensive seal

Beyond just protecting the integrity of your oral appliance, the Zima Go comes with integrated UV-A and UV-C light technology to disinfect your appliance when on the go. When you’re not at home and can’t use your Dental pod, make the most of the Zima Go’s UV sterilisation feature, always safe to use with the device’s sealed lid.

It also prevents exposure to airborne bacteria and pathogens, keeping your oral appliance hygienic and ready for use at all times. Maintaining a sterile environment inside the case, the Zima Go helps reduce the risk of contamination and infection that can occur from dirty oral appliances. If you’re out and about, it’s not necessarily just bacteria you want to keep away from your retainers. Unlike the holes and gaps characteristic of plastic cases, the Zima Go keeps dirt, crumbs and spilt liquids away from your freshly cleaned retainer!

Compact silhouette 

Say goodbye to the weak and bulky hinges used to operate plastic retainer cases - the Zima Go’s sleek sliding mechanism strips away these cumbersome elements and delivers a compact design. Its streamlined form makes the Zima Go easy to slip into your luggage or even your pocket, ensuring that your oral appliance is always within reach, whether you're at home or on the go. The smooth finish makes the case easy to clean and maintain, without the holes and ridges commonly found on traditional plastic cases. 


With thoughtful engineering, the Zima Go lid shows how small elements can still make a big difference. Its magnetic closure, sliding mechanism, sealed design, and compact size collectively address the common challenges faced with traditional plastic cases. With the Zima Go, you can enjoy the confidence of a secure, hygienic, and convenient storage solution for your oral appliances - at all times.
