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.

We are thrilled to announce that for the second year in a row, the Dental Pod has been awarded Product of the Year at the Dental Industry Awards, in collaboration with the British Dental Industry Association!
This prestigious recognition celebrates the groundbreaking innovation and engineering excellence that brought the Dental Pod to life.
Our journey began with a simple realisation: finding a safe and effective way to clean oral appliances was a challenge for many.
Motivated to make a difference, we designed the Dental Pod—the world’s first ultrasonic cleaner tailored specifically for oral appliances, crafted with precision and cutting-edge technology.
Today, the Dental Pod has revolutionised oral care globally, empowering people to feel confident in their smiles and comfortable wearing their aligners, retainers, and guards.

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.
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.

We’re proud to have hundreds of thousands of happy Zima Dental customers keeping clean around the world.
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’ve had the Dental Pod for about a year and found it really convenient for cleaning my retainers. It’s compact, easy to use, and definitely made cleaning them feel much easier than doing it manually. Overall, I’ve been super happy with it!
Reem E. 5/5
This is my second ultrasonic cleaner for my retainers. The first was an inexpensive model. It lasted about a year and was a little bulkier and made more noise. I love the Zina I bought. Takes up less space and I like that lid comes off for drying purposes. Worth the money.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. 5/5 Verified
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. 5/5 Verified
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. 5/5 Verified
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!
David V. 5/5
Amazing my retainer is shining🤩
Faith P. 5/5
My retainers smelled significantly better after using the pod. However, many thick spots that gunk built up were still there, even though the thin layer of gunk over the whole thing was almost completely removed. The tablet also took way longer than the suggested two minutes to dissolve. I waited at least five minutes- and it still didn't completely dissolve. Did that affect the quality of the cleaning?
