Any dental appliance that is not cleaned properly can become a breeding ground for bacteria, plaque and other pathogens posing a serious risk to those wearing it, as well as looking cloudy and dull.

  • Designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses and pathogens
  • Keep your appliance looking clean and clear
  • Remove harmful plaque build up
  • Save time and effort

The Dental Pod uses high-frequency 42,000 Hz ultrasonic waves to vibrate the solution and produce millions of nano-scale bubbles. These bubbles rapidly collapse, releasing a large amount of energy, breaking down bacteria and plaque while being non abrasive to your dental appliance.


Ultrasonic cleaning technology is safe and reliable and has been widely used in laboratory, commercial, industrial and other fields for decades.

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.

UV light isn’t effective when the appliance is sitting in dirty or cloudy water. The light can’t reach all surfaces because even very small amounts of debris in the water blocks it. Instead, the Dental Pod uses best-in-class ultrasonic cleaning technology, which physically removes buildup and works reliably across the whole surface, even in hard to reach areas.

Got questions? We've got answers

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 throughly 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 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.

The recommended cleaning schedule will vary with each oral appliance. We encourage you to check the instructions provided by your dentist or orthodontist. The Dental Pod is able to accommodate any recommended cleaning schedule.

Clean your Dental Pod's stainless steel tank with a Zima Protective Cleaning Wipe. Use one wipe to remove debris and loose plaque build up after a cleaning cycle finishes. Make sure to spread the wipe's antimicrobial protective film across the whole surface area to protect against airborne bacteria between cycles.

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.

I really like the lightweight, compact, elegant build of the Zima Dental Pod. After 3 days, I notice it's cleaner, and it feels easier to insert and use my mouthguard. It feels good to be helping my dental hygiene with this. I look forward to using it daily and I'm happy I bought it.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

I recently got my braces taken off and received my retainers, and I was honestly kind of stressed about keeping them clean without scratching or damaging them. I did some research and came across this product, so I decided to give it a try. When my pod came in, I had just rinsed my retainers and scrubbed them with my finger since it was my first day wearing them. I placed them in the pod not really expecting much because I thought they were already clean. I was shocked when I took them out and saw how much stuff came off of them! 😬 I didn’t even realize they weren’t as clean as I thought they were. This is definitely going to be part of my regular retainer cleaning

I am a R.DH. (Registered Dental Hygienist) who no longer works in the dental field anymore. I appreciate having the dental pod pro in my own home for daily use and the convenience of it for my dental appliances. It's a smaller version of what is in dental offices. I also purchased the UV case to sterilize my appliances also. These 2 products have worked very well for me and my needs.

Super easy to set up and use right out of the box. I purchased the 360 bundle, which included the Dental Pod and the UV Case. Both items are wonderfully compact and take up very little counter space. My dental appliance already had a fairly high level of buildup on it before I bought these, so while it hasn't been able to remove all of that heavy pre-existing buildup completely, using Zima products every day has done a great job keeping it fresh and preventing any further buildup from forming! Highly recommend for keeping your dental items clean.

I bought the dental pod pro and was bowled over by the fantastic results. Kicking myself for not taking a before picture as the difference to my retainers was incredible 🙌. Inspired by that I bought the UV appliance case too. Its easy to operate my retainers fit neatly and its not too bulky so will be great when travelling. Just wish Id invested sooner !

Customer photo review of Dental Pod Pro + 90 Free Tablets

I’ve had the Zima Dental Pod Pro for about a month now and am really pleased with it. I especially love that the tank isn’t attached to the base so you can easily fill it up, plus the lid comes fully off, making it very easy to ensure it’s dry inside before putting the lid back on. I had previously used another brand and the lid (which was attached to the unit) wouldn’t stay up on its own so it had to be almost propped up to dry it out after it was emptied. What I’m not 100% convinced about is why you can’t put the dental appliance in when the cleaning tablet is dissolving, and why it says to submerge the dental appliance “with no trapped air bubbles”. You’re putting your appliance into liquid so I’m really not clear on how air bubbles can be “trapped”!! And it’s pretty easy to place the appliance beside the tablet, then fill it with water….which seems quite a reasonable way to “prevent air bubbles from being trapped”….yes?! Despite that little mystery regarding the tablets, I’m very happy I purchased the upgraded model.

I’ve been really happy with my Zima Dental Pod Pro. I use it to clean my retainers, and I love how easy and convenient it is to use. My retainers feel much cleaner and fresher after each cleaning, and the whole process is very simple. I also really like the design and overall quality of the product. So far, I’ve had a great experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easy way to keep their retainers clean.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

I usually didn’t clean my night guard and retainer every day. This is the first time I have ever had purchased or used a cleaning pod. My dentist didn’t recommend a cleaning machine. In the past, I purchased retainer tablets from Amazon and used a glass measuring cup for cleaning. Now that I have Zima Dental Pod and soaking tablets, I am cleaning my guard and retainer everyday. They are as bright as when I first got them from my dentist, smell great too.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

The Dental Pod is superb, really. I'd give it 6* if I could. From my first use I was blown away by how bright and clean the machine bought up my retainers. They were actually better than the day I collected them from my dentist. Previously I'd spent a lot of time and effort scrubbing away at my retainers with a toothbrush. They were never really that clean feeling, but I couldn't see an alternative. I'm so glad I came across Zima on my Instagram feed. I thought the Dental Pod seemed innovative but was concerned that it might be something of a gimmick. Well...it was worth a try. The upshot? I'm so glad I did, the Dental Pod totally delivers on its promise. Just a simple 5min procedure that brings your retainers up to a surgical grade finish. On top of that you get the lovely minty taste of the cleaning tabs if you use them in your routine. Don't hesitate if you're on the shelf about this, the Dental Pod is a game changer. I'm beyond 100% satisfied.

This Dental Pod makes cleaning my vivera retainer trays so easy. I used to scrub them with a toothbrush, but they never looked completely clean. Big difference with the dental pod and adding the cleaning tablet. They feel so clean and fresh after.

Customer photo review of Ultrasonic Boosting Tablets

It is a great product but the advertising is misleading. The video show the unit as it is working with charged batteries as you don’t see the electrical cord. It doesn’t mention that you should use tablets . We purchased it because we are travelling and obviously having to plus it in is note the best approach. We are leaving for Europe and we did ask it was safe to use it with an adaptor but we were told that they didn’t know!! Let’s hope it will not blow up .
