Only using a cleaning tablet is like cleaning your teeth with toothpaste but no toothbrush. Tablets will kill some of the bacteria on your appliance but the chemicals won’t penetrate any deeper than the very surface level. Deep bacteria and plaque will remain causing harm to your physical and dental health as well as keeping your appliance cloudy and dirty.

Toothbrushes cause abrasive damage to dental appliances resulting in scratches, discomfort and a cloudy look. Additionally, a toothbrush will not clean into every crevice leaving bacteria, plaque and grime on your oral appliance.

Not at all, the ultrasonic cleaning method is completely non-abrasive. It creates millions of micro bubbles which softly but thoroughly clean the entire surface of the appliance causing no damage. The Dental pod is designed to safely clean all kinds of materials from metal to aligner plastic. Find out more about the ultrasonic technology here.

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 jewelry. The underlying cleaning method of ultrasonic cavitation is something that has been used to clean jewellery by professionals for decades.

In certain situations, UV light can effectively sterilise objects. However, we decided not to include UV in the Dental pod for three reasons. Firstly, chemical sterilisation with our tablets is significantly more effective than UV sterilisation for oral appliances. Secondly, UV requires specific design considerations to be effective, which would weaken the more important ultrasonic effect. Finally, our sterilising tablet formulation offers additional advantages against UV such as being able to sterilise both sides of your appliance, removing odor and leaving your appliance with a fresh taste and smell.

We understand how crucial proper oral appliance care is for your health, and how tedious the cleaning process can be! This is why we have spent the last two years gathering all your feedback, researching, and perfecting a solution that sets a whole new standard. The Dental Pod Pro not only addresses common cleaning problems, but uses the latest and greatest technology to support your oral hygiene and overall health.

Designed with everyone in mind, the Dental Pod Pro is for all oral appliance users! Whether your appliance is old or new, large or small, stained or cloudy - the Pro is the ultimate answer, with the best cleaning and usability of any Dental Pod ever created.

The device’s dual cleaning system means that you can choose from standard ultrasonic cleaning or the more powerful and intense Max Clean mode. Max Clean mode runs 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 plaque and 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.

The original Dental pod has been revolutionising the way people clean their oral appliances since 2019, but the Dental Pod Pro sets a new standard for oral appliance care with new, market-leading technology and design. It comes with more powerful cleaning capabilities and smarter features, making your appliance routine smoother than ever before.

If you are looking to give your oral appliance the best possible care and to maintain optimal oral hygiene despite having to wear an appliance, it's time to upgrade your cleaning routine with the Dental Pod Pro. As well as delivering the world's most powerful clean, the device's removable tank has been designed for effortless use and cleaning. Advanced noise and heat regulation systems make for a smoother appliance care experience.

By using a dynamic frequency range of 42 - 47k Hz, the Dental Pod Pro produces increased ultrasonic power and cavitational pressure, resulting in the best ever clean engineered in a Dental Pod.

• A dynamic range covers a broader spectrum, ensuring more effective cleaning across various surface types and contaminants.
• By varying the frequency, the Dental Pod Pro prevents standing waves, ensuring consistent cleaning across your appliance.
• This specific frequency range effectively dislodges both tough grime and fine contaminants from hard-to-reach areas.

And this is all just in the standard mode! The Max Clean mode then also uses a mix of this cleaning method with high-power ultrasonic bursts to effectively penetrate and dislodge layers of plaque and bacteria at the microscopic level.
