While aligners offer a discreet and effective solution for straightening teeth, they can also come with a unique set of challenges, particularly with regards to your oral health. Poor aligner maintenance and cleaning can increase the risk of developing white spot lesions on your teeth, indicating enamel demineralization.

Maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of your oral appliance is as important when traveling as it is when you’re at home. We are often asked about traveling with the Dental pod, so we’ll outline its pros and cons, and suggest alternative solutions to help you enjoy a hassle-free trip. 

While the Dental Pod has been specifically engineered and tested for oral appliances, we have noticed that many of our customers also successfully use their Dental Pods to clean jewelry. 

Through the Dental Pod’s Plastic Neutral certification, we have joined the fight against plastic pollution in Indonesia. Our project works with over 100 small-scale waste collectors to recover ocean-bound plastic bags, creating a more sustainable future for people and the planet.

The Dental Pod is Plastic Neutral Certified through our partnership with leading social enterprise rePurpose Global. This certification empowers us to create an immediate impact on the plastic waste crisis and reflects our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.

Retainers are an essential tool in the world of orthodontics. They help maintain the alignment of teeth after braces have been removed, ensuring long-lasting results. However, it's crucial to clean your retainer regularly to keep it free from bacteria, plaque, and other microorganisms. While there are various methods for cleaning retainers, one of the most effective and convenient options is using an ultrasonic cleaner.

Retainers are essential for maintaining the alignment and integrity of our teeth after orthodontic treatment. However, keeping these removable dental appliances clean can be a challenge. Traditional methods such as brushing and soaking may not effectively remove all the bacteria and accumulated plaque. This is where ultrasonic cleaners come into play.

Finding the right solution for cleaning dentures, aligners, retainers, and mouth guards can often seem like a daunting task. Traditional methods, such as denture tablets, have been the go-to for many. However, they come with their own set of limitations, including inefficacy in removing all bacteria and potential harm to you and your appliance over time.
