Conventional techniques for cleaning oral appliances are ineffective at eliminating buildup and residue that pose a threat to your oral health. 

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

Retainers are essential tools for maintaining the shape of teeth, designed to preserve the results achieved by lengthy (and often expensive) orthodontic treatment. Find out about the importance of looking after your retainers and how to get the most out of your investment for years to come. 

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

Did you know that poorly cleaned retainers can lead to unpleasant odours, discomfort, and buildup over time? The Dental Pod helps maintain a clean appliance as part of your daily routine.

We’re thrilled to announce that the Dental Pod, our premium ultrasonic cleaner specially designed for retainers, aligners, dentures and mouth guards, is now available in Boots stores across the UK.

We advise our customers against using certain brands of cleaning 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. These ions can corrode and compromise the integrity of your Dental Pod.

SLS is commonly found in cleaning products, including cleaning tablets, but it also poses potential risks. Here's how to find an SLS-free solution.
