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.

Customer photo review of Ultrasonic Boosting Tablets

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.

My mouth guard is at least 85% clean from decades of cleaning with toothbrush and toothpaste. I’m thoroughly impressed.

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!

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.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod

I was recommended this product by my dentist as this was my third set of retainers due to them breaking due to improper cleaning. They recommended the Zima pod and it was actually cheaper on Amazon than their office. However no where online could I find a size so I ordered the smaller one which is the only one Amazon sells in hopes it worked. I was surprised it got all that gunk out of my Invisalign retainer with ONE run on normal mode. It is quite loud. Louder than my dehumidifier and it sent my cat flying to the other room. It’s loud enough I hear it on the other side of my home. Luckily it’s only 10 mins with both retainers. I will be returning it simply because it doesn’t hold both retainers and I have already ordered the larger one. Some things I think need improved: a locking mechanism on the lid (my cat would love to knock this over) and a different unscented or scented flavor of the tablets- I cannot stand the smell of mint. Overall though, I recommend the product. I did repurchase it in a larger size after one use. It really is life changing. My retainers cost $427 so it’s an important investment to keep them clean!

Amazing, gets rid of the stinky smell without even needing the cleaning tablets. I still use them from time to time to feel fresh though. Saw that brushing was bad for retainers, so I got this and I’ll never go back it’s that good

I like the cleaning tablets, as I know they are safe for the Dental Pod Pro. I also bought the cleaning wipes. I like that they are biodegradable. I use them periodically to freshen both the Dental Pod Pro, and my travel container, which I also love. Thank you.

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.

Customer photo review of Dental Pod Pro

"I initially bought the standard model, but the tank was simply too small for Oral-B iO brush heads. Upgraded to the new Dental Pod Pro design and it fits them without any issues at all! I use it once a week to keep the heads spotless and prevent mold forming inside the cavity. Excellent upgrade!" I’m going to pull new brush head apart when replacement is due to see if this helps like to think so!

Dental Pod Pro

Customer photo review of Dental Pod Pro

I love this Dental pod it is a game changer... I'm very happy with my purchase and I definitely recommend this. The only downside which I wish it had that it doesn't, is that I wish the dental pod pro also had a UV light Incorporated within the unit, so when you're cleaning it with the ultrasonic pod it would also have UV lights Incorporated on the lid. Other than that I think it's great in quality. But for this price it should have a UV light in the unit as well since it's so expensive. The unit is $140 and then about $70 for the travel case... It was very expensive so it would be nice if it also had a UV in the unit.

Amazing product. For those who already have a Zima Dental Pod, it works in the same excellent way but designed for on the go due to its internal battery. Love it and it was great using it on my recent weekend getaway!

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.
