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.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

This has made such a difference to cleaning my aligners. Having to take out my invisalign three times a day meant forever spent trying to keep the aligners clean. I would brush them and they would end up filthy, I used sterilising fluid and the same thing happened. But using the dental pod has cut the cleaning time in half and I don't have to brush them at all. I was a bit disappointed when I got the product when it said it needed the cleaning tablets too, but I do find that with just water it cleans incredibly well anyway. I do use the cleaning tablets about halfway through my ten day wear to keep them fresh and when I get my permanent retainers I will clean them with the tablets but I've found it doesn't necessarily need them for short term use. The difference between aligners with ten days of brushing and with ten days of using the dental pod speaks for itself. Hopefully it lasts. Would 100% recommend, it's made my invisalign routine so much less stressful.

For years I have been struggling with my retainer being dirty and putting it back in my mouth at night. Now I clean it first thing after I remove it in the morning and am assured I have a fresh and clean retainer to use at night thank you !

I never write reviews but I just love this product so much! 12/10 !! 7 stars. 3 thumbs up!

I’ve used it once so far. It cleaned my Invisalign bottom retainer nicely, but my top night guard still needs more cycles to get the yellow stains out. Hopefully I’ll see an improvement after using it with the cleaning pods 2x a day for 2 weeks like it says for heavily stained pieces.

I was really pleased with the dental pod, tablets and wipes. I keep it in my bathroom by my toothbrush and water flosser for daily use and it really gets my disgusting retainers clean with brushing.

I struggled to keep my night guard clean but no longer. Zima Dental Pod is easy to use, fast and effective. Came in a beautiful and well thought through packaging - already sign of smart and quality product design. I have been using it for a week and already know that I will be ordering one more, for my summerhouse. I used also Zima customer service and the team responded fast, was proactive and helped push the shipping partner for fast delivery. Remember to add cleaning tablets to the order - mine arrived equally smooth and fast in the following order.

Every morning I would see my husband's retainer by the sink and think "you kiss me with that mouth"? I purchased the Dental Pod and the results were amazing! My husband didn't recognize his own retainer.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
