Deep clean your appliance at the touch of a button
Any dental appliance that is not cleaned properly can become a breeding ground for bacteria, plaque and buildup - leaving your appliance looking cloudy and unhygienic.
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 health.
Simple steps for a deeply cleaned and hygienic dental appliance
1
Fill with water
Remove the lid, fill the Dental Pod with water up to the max line and plug it into a wall socket.
2
Place appliance in
Drop your dental appliance into the Pod and turn on using the power button.
3
Secure the lid
Secure the lid and let the ultrasonic waves remove all bacteria and plaque.
4
Retrieve your appliance
Retrieve your sparkling clean appliance from your Pod and rinse. Simple.
Award winning ultrasonic cleaning technology
Nano-bubbles remove bacteria and grime

2025 Dental Industry Product of the Year
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.
We owe this achievement to the trust and support of dental professionals, our customers, and our incredible community.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Don't take our word for it. Dentists trust us.
Having something that you can use every night to clean retainers has been life changing. We love Zima Dental!

The Dental Pod keeps aligners and retainers very clean, it’s far better than using standard cleaning tablets.

The Dental Pod cleans retainers quickly and efficiently – with no worries about damaging it.
Any dental appliance that is not cleaned properly can become a breeding ground for bacteria, plaque and buildup - leaving your appliance looking cloudy and unhygienic.
Designed to remove bacteria, plaque and buildup
Keep your appliance looking clean and clear
Remove cloudy buildup
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 - keeping your appliance looking cloudy, feeling dirty, and emitting unpleasant odours.
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.
Yes, the Dental Pod is FSA/HSA eligible. We have confirmed this directly with a range of providers.
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 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 to ensure customers with grills could clean their appliances safely and effectively.

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
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.
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.
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 love it! It cleans my retainers and removes that cloudiness to it, I love that the pro offers a 15 minute clean mode vs the 5 minute mode, but it definitely is a game charger, coming from cleaning my retainers with a toothbrush.
I had my doubts, but the Zima Pro Pod definitely works! My night retainers are clear now! They also feel fresher. The commercials say you don’t need to use tablets, but I did buy the Zima peppermint dissolving tablets to add to the water in the pod and I like them. I do break the tablets in quarters so that they go farther because they are a little pricey. I would make this purchase again. In fact, I am considering buying the travel version.
The before and after pictures were 10 days apart. I pre-soaked my aligners for 20 minutes with a tablet every day and used the extended clean option. There is a modest improvement and the amount of embedded plaque was reduced. Frankly, I was hoping for more significant results but given the age of the aligners the unit was still a worthy investment. Your customer service and follow up contributed to the score I provided. The performance of the unit alone would have yielded a lower score. Thanks,
Been using the Zima Pod every morning for my night guard and it has stayed completely clean which gives me a refreshing good feeling when I put it in at night.
My old night guard yellowed within 3 months just using soap and water and I didn’t feel good putting it in every night, so the pod has been totally worth it.
I was skeptical before purchasing the Dental Pod Pro, but decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised when I started cleaning my night guard a month ago, and I am extremely happy with the results. The immediate difference for me, since day one of cleaning, was that when I woke up in the morning and took off my night guard, my mouth felt clean! Before using the Dental Pod Pro, I was only cleaning with a toothbrush and toothpaste, which my dentist recommended, but it never felt clean with the nightguard. I am extremely happy with the purchase and plan to purchase the Dental Pod Pro for my mother as well!
I have a 5 year old mouth guard and zima really cleaned it up. I’m do for a new guard this month. I’m looking forward to keeping it in great condition with zima.
I received this as a gift and it is life changing! I love it, and I have so much more confidence that my retainer and mouth guards are clean. I would love it if the tablets were more accessible in stores, but I am a life-long believer of this product regardless.
