How it works.
Just add water? Let us explain how it works...
Ultrasonic Waves
High-frequency ultrasonic waves are generated in the water inside the Dental Pod.
Cavitation (nano-bubbles)
This creates millions of nano-scale bubbles (called cavitation), which burst and release energy, removing plaque, bacteria and any other debris.
Bacterial breakdown
This release of high energy also breaks down cell membranes, destroying bacteria and protecting your oral hygiene.

The Dental Pod Pro is the world’s most advanced cleaning solution for oral appliances. With patented features, market-leading ultrasonic technology and user-friendly design, it provides unparalleled cleaning, quality and experience.
Removes bacteria, plaque and buildup
Keep all appliance types looking clean and clear
Effortless to use, refill and clean
Max Clean mode helps break down tough stains and buildup
Ultrasonic cleaning technology has proven safe and reliable, trusted by laboratory, commercial and industrial fields for decades. We have spent the last two years integrating the latest advancements in this trusted technology with new user-friendly features to create the Dental Pod Pro.
The Dental Pod Pro comes with two cleaning modes that use dynamic 42,000-47,000Hz ultrasonic waves to vibrate the solution and produce millions of nano-scale bubbles. These bubbles rapidly expand and collapse, releasing a large amount of energy, which smashes the grime, bacteria and plaque on your appliance. This action, called ‘cavitation’ occurs on average 4,000 times per second, allowing the Dental Pod Pro to still deliver a non-abrasive, yet more thorough, cleaning cycle.
The Dental Pod Pro has been specifically designed by 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 Dental Pods can clean. If you are still unsure, contact support to check if your specific appliance can be cleaned.
The original Dental Pod has been revolutionizing the way people clean their oral appliances since 2019, but the Dental Pod Pro sets a new standard for oral appliance care with new, market-leading technology and design. It comes with more powerful cleaning capabilities and smarter features, making your appliance routine smoother than ever before.
Our tablets boost your Dental Pod's ultrasonic cleaning power, helping to eliminate bacteria and pathogens, whilst leaving your retainer with a fresh minty taste and smell.

Got questions? We've got answers
Designed with accessibility in mind, the Dental Pod Pro is for all oral appliance users! Whether your appliance is old or new, large or small, stained or cloudy - the Pro is the ultimate answer.
The device’s dual cleaning system means that you can choose from standard ultrasonic cleaning or the more powerful and intense Max Clean mode. Max Clean mode runs for 15 minutes, oscillating between high pressure, intense ultrasonic bursts, and consistent ultrasonic cleaning waves. This effectively scrubs your appliance, whilst periodically applying high pressure bursts to penetrate deeper layers of debris. This combination is perfect for tackling plaque and stubborn buildup.
Only using a cleaning tablet is like cleaning your teeth with toothpaste but no toothbrush. Whilst tablets will kill some of the bacteria on your appliance, their cleaning action doesn’t penetrate deeper than surface level. Advanced ultrasonic waves reach harmful bacteria deep in the crevices of your appliance, and provide the agitation needed to dislodge plaque. Brushing your appliance is as laborious as it is ineffective. Not only does brushing fail to reach every angle, it creates micro-scratches in the surface of the plastic, which harbor harmful bacteria. The Dental Pod Pro, however, with its gentle, yet powerful cavitational action, is completely non-abrasive. This is why 1000s of dentists now recommend the Dental Pod for maintaining oral hygiene throughout your orthodontic journey.
The tank and base are separate, detachable components, meaning you can fill, empty and clean the tank without having to unplug from the power source. Simply lift off the tank and place under a tap for filling or emptying, whilst the power inlet on the base can easily be kept away from the water source.
The Dental Pod Pro is safe to use with almost any oral appliance! This includes aligners (including Invisalign), retainers, guards and dentures, made with materials such as clear and opaque plastic, acrylic, ceramic, metal and more. Its large tank capacity accommodates a wide range of appliances and sizes, even fitting multiple appliances at once. The Pro’s market-leading cleaning power means that it can clean older appliances with heavier buildup.
We understand how crucial proper oral appliance care is for your health, and how tedious the cleaning process can be! This is why we have spent the last two years gathering all your feedback, researching, and perfecting a solution that sets a whole new standard. The Dental Pod Pro not only addresses common cleaning problems, but uses the latest and greatest technology to support your oral hygiene and overall health.
If you are looking to give your oral appliance the best possible care and to maintain optimal oral hygiene despite having to wear an appliance, it's time to upgrade your cleaning routine with the Dental Pod Pro. As well as delivering the world's most powerful clean, the device's removable tank has been designed for effortless use and cleaning. Advanced noise and heat regulation systems make for a smoother appliance care experience.
Not at all, despite the Pro having market-leading cleaning power, the ultrasonic cleaning method is completely non-abrasive. It creates millions of micro bubbles which softly but thoroughly clean the entire surface of the appliance without causing any damage. The Dental Pod Pro is designed to safely clean all kinds of materials from metal to aligner plastic.
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 Pro is able to accommodate any recommended cleaning schedule.
The Dental Pod Pro's removable tank is made from a stainless steel alloy, with naturally antibacterial properties. To keep the device at its best, we recommend rinsing the inside of the tank after each use and a wiping with a dry cloth.
This is not what the Dental Pod Pro was designed, engineered and tested to clean. However, many customers have let us know that they have had success cleaning jewelry. The underlying cleaning method of ultrasonic cavitation is something that has been used to clean jewelry by professionals for decades. We successfully tested cleaning precious metals in the Dental Pod Pro to ensure customers with grills could clean their appliances safely and effectively.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 21068 reviews.
I have been using dental trays for about 14 years and the Zima Dental Pod and tablets are the best solution for clean dental trays I’ve ever found! The photos shared are progress pictures of before and after using the Zima Dental Pod and tablets. I was so impressed with how clean my dental trays became. I tell everyone who I notice is wearing dental appliances about the Zima Dental Pod.
I would be making a trip soon and I saw that there was a new travel product as in the DentalPod Go that was very compact and ran on battery once charged for 2 weeks which was the extent of my trip. I like how the unit all fits in its case which can be thrown into a travel tote bag along with the Zima Go and my Hydro pod for all my dental needs. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it to keep my oral appliances clean and not having to bring my bigger stay-at-home unit with AC adapter.
WOW! My retainer is transformed! I am amazed at how sparkling clean it is. It looks brand new. I always washed it off every morning, so I assumed it was always clean. But Zima has turned it back to the way it looked when I bought it theee years ago.
I saw the ZIMA AD during a game lol.. that is how I learned about ZIMA the technology caught my eye as it is nothing compared to what I was using at home to clean my retainer. The ZIMA pod does a much better job..
I love my pod! It's so easy to use and small enough to travel with me. In fact, it's enjoying Hawaii right now as I'm visiting Maui. I'm sure my pod appreciates the vacation!
I absolutely love the ZIMA dental cleaner. I never realized what a time saver this would be. My retainer looks clean and fresh and free from bacteria. The ZIMA cleaner tablets are definitely worth it and shipped asap direct from manufacturer.
I only have the after pictures, sadly. However , my retainers are 27 months old and were only Dentist cleaned once in all that time. So they both had lots of yellow stains and scale on them. But I followed the instructions in the Zima owners manual and soaked them 10 minutes in the Zima tablets per day followed by 2 back to back cleaning cycles for two weeks and you can see the results. The upper retainer is like brand new-no scale or yellowing.The lower retainer is free of scale and about 98% free of yellowing. I am thrilled and astonished!
These tablets and little pod machine makes such a big difference. I received the Zima DentalPod for Christmas and it surely does the job. My mouthguard always feels so clean. Love it
It works! I had stopped using my night guard because of the white stains and stinky smell. This pushed me to look for a solution and came across Zima dental. In the first try I already notice the white stains became much clear and the smell was gone! Now I also use it to clean my Invisalign.
Zima responded two times expeditiously to my questions. They also explained things well. Thank you so much Zima. I love my Zima and use it three times a day. My aligners are so clean and fresh! I just ordered more cleaning tablets too.
My mother got me a Zima Dental Pod and such a product is the best going for my dental guards. After the first use back in December I saw the difference in what clean actually looks like for my dental guards and I am so grateful.
My bite guard is 8 years old and was badly stained and very encrusted. After only 11 days of using my new Zima Pod and tablets my bite guard looks and feels like new. It fits better and looks and feels better too. Rarely does a product live up to its claims but the Zima Pod did and surpassed them. I love my Zima Pod.
I just recently started wearing Invisalign trays a few weeks ago. I noticed quickly that they didn’t get very clean toward end of week. I saw your ad on FB , I watched it a few times before the purchase! I’m so happy I bought it! My trays look great! My trays feel and look so much cleaner! Well worth the money! Wish I would have purchased the travel case at the same time!
Ordering was easy. I did not realize that I needed to order the tablets and consequently I ran out and am waiting for the delivery. Now, I might need to order the wipes to clean the Xima dental pod, although it is still very new and seems fine. My night guard is still pristine as I have had it less than 2 weeks and got the Xima pod immediately. My appliance has never been discolored.
Worked exactly as it was described! Super simple, easy to use, and cleaned my retainers so well, I was shocked and like "This can't be the same retainers, right??" It's crazy! And I love it! No more brushing and rinsing those bad boys!
Love this dental pod. My nightguards never looked so clean.
Before, I used a cup & brush with the typical cleaning tablets like polydent or other brands from Amazon. I thought it was good enough till a friend recommended it to try the Zima Dental pod. Never heard of it back then, but I knew my mouthpiece was not as "clear" as it was when I first got it. I gave it a try (sure it was not cheap, but why be cheap when it comes to health items).
After the first cleaning...it looked like new. I could not believe I was putting a nasty nightguard in my mouth every night.
I've viewed reviews on reddit about the cost of the tablets and people skimp out and use the store tablets I used before. The ones from Zima are definitely worth the investment especially if you are allergic to the ingredients in the store bought brands. After, using these for a couple of weeks, I noticed that my sinus was not stuffy in the mornings like before. I never knew I was allergic or reacted to the ingredients from the other tablets.
Get these and don't be cheap when it comes to your health.
Overall, the pod has cleaned my dental device, but it did not remove the stains. I can tell it’s cleaner because the surface is smooth and clean, but I was disappointed that the stains are still there after months of cleaning with the pod.
Love my zima original! I’ve had it for 2 years now and makes wearing my Invisaligns much easier . They feel brand new every time I clean them! I even travel with it wherever I go but now I have my eye on the new travel one which looks amazing! It’s a must for all oral appliance users! Game changer!! Love it so so much. 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.
Delivery was fast. My appliance was full of tartar and after several uses the tartar significantly diminished. I would’ve liked to have received more tablets with the machine than actually came. I did order more tablets, however, they are quite pricey. I do recommend this machine and it definitely works on cleaning your dental appliance.
The case itself is well designed and lightweight, and its going to be useful!
However, I was a bit surprised to see that the box is only "sealed" by a tiny piece of tape, that had come off (see picture, that's how it was - I had not yet pulled on it). Given that, after opening the box, the zima case is not sealed wrapped in plastic (which is fine, save the planet), this made me a bit uneasy about the case - in which I'm going to be putting stuff that goes in my mouth - having been opened.
I cleaned it off with alcohol, but I thought I'd leave the feedback. I'm not asking for the box to come sealed in stupid amounts of plastic, but maybe use a better "tape" that makes it obvious that the box has not been tampered with and that does not come off so easily. Apple's Macbook boxes have a little tape that you have to tear off, for instance.
Hope this is helpful. Like I said, otherwise happy with the case. Cheers!
As someone who travels a lot for work, finding the Dental Pod Go now allows me to bring my daily cleaning routine with me. The device is cleverly designed from the nesting three-piece design to the charging cable storage pocket that attaches inside the sturdy travel case. I haven’t found any other device that offers sonic cleaning in this compact of a design, and that alone was worth buying the Dental Pod Go.
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.
