The science behind the magic
The Dental Pod uses high-frequency 42,000Hz ultrasonic waves to vibrate the solution and produce millions of nano-scale bubbles. These bubbles rapidly collapse, releasing a large amount of energy, which removes grime, stains and other build up from your oral appliance. This non-abrasive technology makes sure there is no damage to your appliance's shape or structure.
Ultrasonic cleaners have been utilised in the dental setting for over 70 years. Here at Zima Dental we have harnessed the most trusted and advanced ultrasonic technology and engineered it specifically for at-home oral appliance cleaning. It is now recommended by dentists worldwide.
What can the Dental Pod clean?
The Dental Pod has been specifically designed by our UK scientists to clean a wide range of oral appliances including all types of clear aligners, retainers (including those with metal), mouth guards, dentures, bite guards (night guards), sleep devices, toothbrush heads and more. Read our blog here to learn more about what the Dental Pod can clean. If you are still unsure, contact support to check if your specific appliance can be cleaned.
Why does the Dental Pod not have UV?
We focus on the technology that's effective and reliable for thorough, consistent cleaning.
UV light isn't effective when oral appliances are sitting in dirty or cloudy water - even tiny amounts of contaminants block the light. Instead, the Dental Pod uses best-in-class ultrasonic cleaning technology, to physically remove buildup across the whole appliance.

How it works.
Just add water? Let us explain how it works...
1: Ultrasonic Waves
High-frequency ultrasonic waves are generated in the water inside the Dental Pod.
2: Cavitation (nano-bubbles)
This creates millions of nano-scale bubbles, which burst and release energy, removing cloudiness and multiple layers of buildup.
3: Microscopic action
This release of high energy works on the microscopic level to break down invisible residue and cosmetic stains.
Deep clean your appliance at the touch of a button. The Dental Pod is powered by the latest ultrasonic technology to deliver a sparkling clean dental appliance time after time.

Got questions? We've got answers
Only using a cleaning tablet is like cleaning your teeth with toothpaste but no toothbrush. Tablets alone can only treat the surface of your appliance and can't reach the buildup embedded in crevices.
Toothbrushes are abrasive and can create scratches, creating grooves for even more buildup, making your appliance look cloudy. Plus, using a toothbrush won't allow you to clean in hard to reach crevices.
Not at all, the Dental Pod's ultrasonic waves are specifically engineered to be completely non-abrasive to oral appliances. 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.
Yes, the Dental Pod can effectively clean clear aligners and Invisalign. All types of clear aligners have been thoroughly tested in the Dental Pod with excellent and safe results. The Dental Pod will also be great for cleaning your retainer after aligner treatment.
Yes, the Dental Pod can effectively clean oral retainers. The Dental Pod was specifically designed and tested to clean both modern clear retainers and more traditional Hawley retainers with metal.
Yes, the Dental Pod can effectively clean both night guards and bite guards. The Dental Pod has been specifically engineered and tested to clean more than 14 types of guards.
We recommend a daily clean, but the cleaning schedule will vary with each oral appliance. We encourage you to check the instructions provided by your dentist.
You can clean your Dental Pod's tank with a Zima Cleaning Wipe, or simply use a gentle soap with water. Use one wipe to remove debris and loose plaque build up after a cleaning cycle finishes.
Definitely, the Dental Pod is designed to effectively clean two appliances at the same time.
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 jewellery. The underlying cleaning method of ultrasonic cavitation is something that has been used to clean jewellery by professionals for decades. We successfully tested cleaning precious metals in the Dental Pod to ensure customers with grills could clean their appliances safely and effectively.

This is an awesome little machine. I couldn’t clean my mouth guard enough, and this little engine that could got it done. Thank you! Wonderful product!
Anne S.5/5
The product works really well. I thought that using the tablets that I had been using for years were enough. Even without a tablet, placing the item inside the cleaner which is tapwater and running the vibration sequence seems to do a better job than using a tablet and just putting it in water as I have in the past. But the real game changer is when you use a tablet with this device and the vibration feature your retainer comes out looking crystal clear every time and you can tell. That is a much Cleaner way to clean your retainer. I would highly recommend this product.
David P.5/5
My husband got me a Zima pod for Christmas and I have been loving it!
It’s been so extremely easy to use, and for someone with ADHD is easier to remember than to do tablets in a cup because I see it on the counter and remember 🤣
I was getting self conscious because the tablets weren’t getting my retainers super clean and build up was starting, but I had no idea how to get it off!
The Zima took off all the buildup in two doubled-up sessions (so running it with a dissolved Zima tablet 2 times 2 days in a row!) now they look brand new- I wish I had a picture of them before!
I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who has any kind of dental appliance and wants them to be super clean in the easiest way possible 🙌
Emily5/5
I have had a retainer for 1.5 years and have been cleaning it with toothbrush regularly. But my dental appliance developed white spots in crevices that I was unable to get rid of. It changed when I splurged and got Zima Dental Pod. After a week almost all white spots are gone and my retainer looks great.
Dagmara O.5/5
My Hawley retainer was getting really gross and had this white buildup. I washed and rinsed with mild soap water and used a soft bristle toothbrush every morning to try to get them clean but they still never felt really clean. My husband bought me the dental pod for Christmas and I was impressed after the first use. I used the cleaning tablets and ran the dental pod according to the directions and the difference was crazy. Now when I wake up I toss my retainer in while I brush my teeth and they come out looking great, even with just using water.
Rachael B.5/5
If you are looking for hassle-freeway to keep your Invisalign trays or retainer spotless, Zima dental pod is a fantastic choice.
I strongly recommend the Zima dental pod to anyone who wants an effective, compact solution for keeping their dental appliances in top shape.
Anuradha R.5/5
Really happy with the Dental Pod Pro. It’s simple to use, feels well made, and fits easily into my routine. Customer service was excellent too, quick responses and very helpful throughout.
Peter O.5/5
I had Invisalign for a week when I decided I needed a better way to clean and place my trays while eating. This is a great way to clean the trays (and remember where I put them!) while I eat. You can see in the water and on the trays how much debris is coming off each time. I am so glad to have this for the remainder of my program and for my future retainer!
Julie N.5/5Verified
Incredible, this thing cleaned my retainer better then any dental tablet I ever used
Jake P.5/5
I was skeptical at first but it far exceeded my expectations. I cleaned the bottom tray first and compared it to the uncleaned top tray. I couldn’t believe it. It was amazing. One of the few products that live up to the hype.
Anthony M.5/5Verified
What I Like Is You Can Pic up Bowl without unplugging b it I had One That Id Uplug it from the Unit Yours is safer if Water Gets on it
Salvatore B.5/5
I recently heard about the Dental Pod after complaining to a friend that no matter WHAT I did, my retainer always seemed to have an odor and never looked truly crystal clear. I was desperate for a solution, so the second she told me about the Dental Pod, I looked it up and ordered one!
When it arrived, the setup was ridiculously easy, and of course I immediately threw my retainer in to see if it actually lived up to the hype. Spoiler: IT DID. 😍
That was only a few weeks ago, and I have genuinely fallen IN LOVE with this thing. My retainer comes out looking so clean and clear, and most importantly—the smell that I could never seem to get rid of is GONE. I seriously wish I had bought one sooner!
And can we talk about the cleaning tablets?! ZimaDental included a few with my Dental Pod, and I was so impressed because they leave absolutely no chemical smell or taste behind like so many other cleaning tablets I’ve tried. When I started running low, I searched Amazon for the exact tablets and couldn’t find them. I liked them so much that I literally did a quick ChatGPT search, found ZimaDental’s website, and ordered a 6-month supply because apparently I refuse to ever run out now. 😂
I can confidently say this is one of those purchases where I thought, “Where has this been my entire life?!” If you wear a retainer, aligners, or anything similar, I 1000% recommend it. The Dental Pod has officially become part of my routine, and I’m so thankful for the friend who put me onto ZimaDental! 🤩🦷✨
Consider me officially converted. I LOVE my Dental Pod!
Mykenzi B.5/5
I found the website easy to use and the support team quick to tell me of a possible supply issue and helpful and efficient with changing my delivery options
Eleanor S.5/5Verified
This dental pod has changed my retainer’s cleanliness. For years I’ve had my retainer degrade, weaken, and crack on me. After using this machine, it has freshened my retainer and no longer wake up to bad breath to enjoy my aligned teeth in full form.
Easy to use, love to use the max time setting to clean those stubborn grits on my retainer. Glad to have purchased this.
Hong Kim L.5/5Verified
cleaned my 13 year old retainers and made them look way younger!
Steph L.5/5
I bought my ZIMA dental pod from my local orthodontic and it has been amazing at cleaning my retainers. It is always so nice to put them in after cleaning.
Hugo O.5/5
I heard so much about these all summer and am excited that I have one of my own. I tested the Dental Pod Pro with my retainers and it seems to be working well so far. I can’t wait to keep using it!
Olivia D.4/5
Love, love Zina Dental Pod! My retainers are lare shiny and clean. Was amazed at all of the gunk that came off them as they are relatively new, but they smelled bad and were already collecting plaque. Easy as can be to use. Expensive but worth it to me. Retainers feel very fresh in my mouth!
Sherita H.5/5
It’s made a big difference in my retainers and also keeping my teeth and gums cleaner. My dentist noticed!
Mary Ann F.5/5
This little cleaner is the best. It cleaned my dental appliance so well. I was almost afraid to smile because it had gotten so discolored… And now this cleaner makes me more confident about my appearance.
Ruth Ann P.5/5
My orthodontist recommended this product. Couldn’t be more pleased!
Janice L.5/5
I love this product! I used to struggle with cleaning my retainer and the first time i used Zima, I immediately noticed the difference. I’m glad to get my retainer back in easier and cleaner!
Emily T.5/5
I chose the pink version and it is soooo pretty and cute. I dont have to hide it in a drawer. Its the perfect shade of pink and it fits right with my other items on my vanity. I love the power button it just needs a light touch and it cleans my aligners. Just feels luxurious lol. Really happy with my purchase.
Hawaa A.5/5Verified
I've been really impressed with the Zima Dental Ultrasonic Cleaner. It's simple to use, runs quietly, and does an excellent job removing buildup from my dental appliances. Everything comes out looking and feeling much cleaner with very little effort. Definitely a worthwhile purchase if you want an easy way to keep your dental devices fresh and well maintained.
Craig B.5/5Verified
As soon as I got this I got so excited!!! I put my retainers in and oh my gosh they came out very clean and I am very happy!
Makenzie L.5/5Verified
It cleans my custom mouthpiece for sleeping extremely well! Actually, even better than what my dentist does when I go back for check ups!
Jimmie B.5/5
I have a clear plastic retainer and a hawley retainer. I only wear the hawley one now but I put both of them in the zima ultrasonic and they came out looking great. Would definitely recommend.
Nan H.5/5
The dental pod is easy to use straight out of the box and is making my appliances sparkling clean! :)
Jenifer W.5/5
Received the dental pod as a gift and used the tablets came with the pod. I liked the flavor and it helps me to clean my retainer.
Nora W.5/5
I’ve invested a lot of money in my oral health and hygiene so extending that to the care of my retainers was a no brained once I learned about Zima! In the same 5 minutes it takes for me to floss and brush, my retainers become perfectly clean like brand new and I know there won’t be any gunk getting between my retainers and my gums and teeth.
Jonathan G.5/5
Working pretty good.
Veronica A.4/5Verified
Absolutely love the Zima dental pod. It has changed my life!
Francesca V.5/5
Il prodotto funziona bene, in merito alla rimozione dei batteri non saprei esprimermi.
Francesca V.5/5
I love it it cleans well my only complaint is the water marker should be slightly clearer. As I wear glass and it’s still hard to see the indents in the side
Amanda H.4/5
Love it! So easy to clean and use. Planing to buy another one in USA, to be able to clean my Invisalign during my travels.
Arimantas L.5/5Verified
My mum bought this for me to clean my retainers, and I wasn’t expecting it to remove years of stubborn staining. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how amazingly well it worked - my retainers came out looking so brand new! After seeing the results, my mum bought one for herself and has been just as impressed. It’s a great purchase that saves me from having to scrub my retainers every morning. It’s quick and easy to use and the cleaning tablets are especially effective - would recommend!
Annabel B.5/5Verified
I really like how much this pod cleans my retainer. My only complaint is that you do have to continue buying the boosting tablets/cleaning tablets and they are expensive! They only supply you with maybe 10 of them in the box initially and they recommend using them daily. So just something to think about!
Macie Y.4/5
After a few years of using tablets in water to soak my retainers they became cloudy and very difficult to clean even with a small brush. After a lot of research I decided to buy a Zima Debtal Pod and noticed a real difference after the first use - my retainers are clean and clear back to how they were originally. I would highly recommend.
Carole F.5/5Verified
My husband recently acquired dentures. He also acquired a huge abscess on his limb which was turning into Sepsis, could have taken him out.
I bought things to eliminate harmful bacteria, this pod was one of them.
Fantastic results, the difference was so evident and the pod is so easy to use. Great product!
Carole P.5/5
My retainers were getting gross and keeping them clean was difficult. I tried brushing them daily and I noticed build up that I couldn’t seem to get off. The dental pod come them looking new after the first 15 minute cycle. One happy accident is for some reason they actually fit better and now I don’t wake up with bad breathe. Thanks Zima!
