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.

  • Removes bacteria, plaque and stubborn debris
  • 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

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!

Dental Pod

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

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.

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 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.

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.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

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!

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

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.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

I am in love with this wonderful little machine! I have been so concerned over the years that my post Invisalign aligners were simply not as clean as they could've been, despite my diligent brushing with a dedicated toothbrush. Using my pod every morning leaves my aligners sparklingly clean and I feel that is much healthier for me. I also oddly love the little ritual Of putting in the water, letting the tablet, dissolve, pushing the button, and hearing the pods sweet little sound as it does. It's magical work to make my aligners pop out crystal clear and clean. Very highly recommended! My dentist actually told me about it and I so wish I would've discovered it sooner, but I'm very glad I have it now.

This compact cleaner is both cute and functional. My 10 year old mouth guard visibly and palpably is cleaner, and now I don't have to wait every 4 months to get it cleaned at my dentist's anymore! Easy setup, great packaging, shame eliminating bc I'd let this important dental device get gnarly from laziness.

Très bon produit. Me permet de sauver du temps et d'en avoir un peu plus pour manger. Mes coquilles restent parfaitement blanches. Je recommande ce produit.

Dental Pod

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 !

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.

Customer photo review of Dental 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.
