Zima Dental was honored as finalists in two categories at the prestigious 2023 Dental Industry Awards: 'Outstanding Business of the Year' and 'Product of the Year'. This double recognition marks a significant milestone in our journey of innovation and excellence in oral appliance care.

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. 

Our recommendation is based on our own internal research and a study by the University of Hong Kong.

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

Cleaning your toothbrush should be as routine as brushing your teeth. Regular sanitising using the Dental Pod, can significantly reduce the risk of bacterial build-up, ensuring your toothbrush head is safe and effective for each use.

While ultrasonic cleaners like the Dental Pod are designed to be gentle on aligners, not all ultrasonic cleaners are created equal.

Oral appliances, including aligners, retainers, and night guards, are crafted from medical-grade plastics or acrylics. Despite the durability of these materials, exposure to certain chemicals found in some sterilising tablets can induce degradation over time.
