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 causing harm to your physical and dental health as well as keeping your appliance cloudy and dirty.

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 thoroughly 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.

In certain situations, UV light can effectively sterilize objects. However, we decided not to include UV in the Dental pod for three reasons. Firstly, chemical sterilization with our tablets is significantly more effective than UV sterilization for oral appliances. Secondly, UV requires specific design considerations to be effective, which would weaken the more important ultrasonic effect. Finally, our sterilizing tablet formulation offers additional advantages against UV such as being able to sterilize both sides of your appliance, removing odor and leaving your appliance with a fresh taste and smell.

The Basics

Our tablets contain carefully selected ingredients to maximise cleaning and ensure safety for you, your appliance, and your pod. They assist the physical ultrasonic clean, whilst eliminating 99.9% of pathogens on your appliance and leaving your appliance with a fresh, minty taste.

So, how do they work?

Once dissolved in water, our tablets release antimicrobial agents that disinfect the retainer, eliminating bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The tablets also contain a surfactant, which reduces surface tension and assists in the breakdown and removal of debris. This works in conjunction with other agents that help to remove stains and discolorations, helping restore the appearance of the appliance.

Additionally, the tablet leaves a pleasant mint flavor and a cooling sensation to the appliance, leaving it feeling fresh and clean after rinsing.
