While the Dental Pod has been specifically engineered and tested for oral appliances, we have noticed that many of our customers also successfully use their Dental pods to clean jewellery. 

Dental hygienist Catherine Staffeldt (@honesthygienist) shares her go-to method for keeping retainers clean, fresh, and bacteria-free. She explains why traditional cleaning methods like brushing and tablets fall short, and why she recommends the Dental Pod Pro to all her patients. 

While aligners offer a discreet and effective solution for straightening teeth, they can also come with a unique set of challenges, particularly with regards to your oral health. Poor aligner maintenance and cleaning can increase the risk of developing white spot lesions on your teeth, indicating enamel demineralization.

During the development of the Dental pod, 100s of different cleaning cycle time and structure combinations were tested to ensure the best possible efficacy and user-experience. 

Finding the right solution for cleaning dentures, aligners, retainers, and mouth guards can often seem like a daunting task. Traditional methods, such as denture tablets, have been the go-to for many. However, they come with their own set of limitations, including inefficacy in removing all bacteria and potential harm to you and your appliance over time. 

It's becoming increasingly evident that oral health is a critical part of overall wellness. As a result, staying ahead with the best tools is paramount. The Dental pod by Zima Dental, is name synonymous with cutting-edge oral health technology, is transforming the way we care for oral appliances.

People clean their aligners in many different ways and it's still being studied which method is the most effective. A common question among aligner patients  is: "Do Dental pods really work in keeping aligners clean?". To address this, we conducted a detailed experiment comparing five different aligner cleaning techniques.

Hundreds of dentists around the country (myself included) recommend the Dental Pod to their patients. Its unparalleled effectiveness and ease of use make it an easy choice for anyone who regularly uses a snore guard.
