It’s seamless and works great. It’s so much better than using a toothbrush and cleaners that are probably not very good for my retainer.
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.

Trusted technology
Ultrasonic cleaners have been utilized in the clinical dental setting for over 70 years. Here at Zima Dental we have harnessed the most trusted and advanced ultrasonic technology and engineered it for specific use within the dental appliance cleaning process.
The Dental Pod removes plaque, gunk and other harmful build up from your appliance, whilst making sure there is no damage to the shape and structure of your appliance. The benefits of the Dental Pod have been acknowledged by dentists worldwide.
What can the Dental Pod clean?
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.
Why does the Dental Pod not have UV?
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 odors.
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 Hawley 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.

My appliance is at least 10 years old but after a few weeks it feels, smells and tastes cleaner! Helps me want to put it in every night ! That’s new. ☺️
Fast delivery. Used the dental pod with a boosting tablet and it worked great on my clear retainers! Clears any residue. I will probably use the dental pod daily. I am more confident with this product than another product I purchased recently. The warranty helps as well. I would recommend!
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.
My retainer and partial denture have never been cleaner or felt more fresh! Now I don’t have to worry about them causing decay because they are getting thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
The Zima Dental Pod works extremely effectively. My Invisalign appliances always come out crystal clear after just one timed session in the Pod. The device is worth every penny.
I was using a toothbrush to clean my mouth guard and it started yellowing. I had a friend who recommended the Zima Dental Pod and thought, why not give it a go. After a few uses the yellowing started to fade and is now nearly gone! It works REALLY well and after seeing how clean my mouth guard was my parents each got one too, lol. Highly recommend! You may not see results immediately (because advertisements exaggerate) but you will see them!
Very good! My first day using it, but I think my old night guard will be completely clean after a few times
I want to start with the customer service. My order got lost and Stef was unbelievably attentive from the very first start. When she found out the order got lost, she shipped a new item immediately and I received it the day after. So Stef, thank you once again! The packaging is impeccable. The colors, the disposition of items, it’s just, impeccable. Now, the pod. It works perfectly and my night guard is as new! I love it. Best purchase I ever made for my teeth's health. I highly recommend it.
Ease of purchase, fast delivery, keeps my retainers sparkling clean!!
Absolute game changer!! I wish I got this years earlier. I’m honestly disgusted with how my retainers were before my Zima. After one use it looked immediately better. So worth the money and super easy to use.
This device is very well designed. It has taken my retainer and night guard from nasty to relatively pristine in just two weeks. It is very easy to use and clean.
I am in love with my Zima Dental Pod. I was brushing my retainers with toothpaste, and then I started using Clorox or Hydrogen Peroxide. That is, until I discovered the Dental Pod and realized the huge mistakes I was making in my attempt to prevent my retainers from smelling or turning a horrible brown color. At the end of the realignment process, I chose to purchase three sets of retainers. I ruined the first 2 sets. The last set still looks brand new! It has had the privilege of bathing in the Zima Dental Pod for about 6 months. I won't go back!
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 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.
This is so cute and compact! Super easy to use and keeps my retainer clean!
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.
Works great! Just as described!
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.
This amazing appliance was gifted to me and I dont know how I lived with out it. My dental appliance is so much cleaner now.
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.
Best device!
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.
Love it
Thank you I am very satisfied
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.
Great product
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.
I miss the tablets
Excited to use this product
I wear a partial denture at age 75…the Zima saves my life. I have used the original for several years but recently bought the updated one for my vacation home. Brilliant design modifications… don’t hesitate to buy one. I also use the tablets not every time but most of the time and my partial looks like it’s been cleaned at the dentist office. I tried to minimize as many chemicals in my life as possible so I really like that they have eliminated some of the harsh chemicals that are used in the other cleaning agents.
I absolutely love this product. I was so tired of cleaning my retainers with a toothbrush and other tablets. I even broke a pair of retainers by brushing. This ZIMA Dental Pro Pod has been a life saver. Just a press of a button and PRESTO!! CLEAN AND HASSLE FREE!!! 😊 🙏🏾
Love it! My daughter loves that it’s easy to use and it comes in pink! My son just got his braces off and will be getting him one too in the Arctic White. 😬🩷😬💙
Both kids had braces from Dr. Heather Burch. When they were done, she recommended it and we have been using it ever since.
The picture is the water after cleaning my retainer. They are crystal clear every time
So far so good. Gives the retainers a better clean than toothbrush
Great product!
