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.

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. 

Zima Dental was honoured as finalists in two categories at the prestigious 2023 Dental Industry Awards: 'Outstanding Business of the Year' and 'Product of the Year'. This double recognition marks a significant milestone in our journey of innovation and excellence in oral appliance care.

See below some easy steps to take care of your Dental pod. We recommend you to follow these dos and don'ts for a long lasting unit and effective cleaning.
