Zima Dental introduces the key features of the Dental Pod Pro, an advanced and user-friendly oral appliance cleaner.
Since 2019, Zima Dental has been at the forefront of innovation in oral appliance care, and is now launching the Dental Pod Pro, an advanced and user-friendly ultrasonic appliance cleaner. After pioneering the award-winning Dental Pod as the world’s first personal ultrasonic cleaning machine for retainers, aligners and guards, this upgraded model represents the next generation of oral appliance care.
The evolution of oral appliance care
Zima Dental is on a mission to offer innovative solutions to the problems oral appliance users face. Although widely recommended, dentists report that patients found brushing their appliance to be time-consuming, labour-intensive and ineffective, whilst cleansing tablets left an unpleasant taste and contained hazardous chemicals patients felt unsafe using.
Coupled with research that suggests oral appliance users have a higher risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease, and that aligner patients are more susceptible to oral health issues, such as white spot lesions than previously realised, patients needed an answer that looked after both their appliance and their oral health.
Harnessing market-leading ultrasonic cleaning technology, Zima Dental products provide oral appliance users with solutions to their problems. The launch of the original Dental Pod in 2019 transformed the way patients cared for their dental appliances. The product quickly gained recognition for its ability to deliver a deep ultrasonic clean that was gentle on appliances, while effectively eliminating harmful bacteria and plaque.
Now, with the launch of the Dental Pod Pro, Zima Dental has once again raised the bar, offering an appliance cleaner that is poised to revolutionise oral appliance care for the millions of users across the globe.
Backed by two years of research, development and feedback from customers and dental professionals, the Dental Pod Pro redefines the industry’s standards around performance, usability and safety. This innovative device has been improved in four key ways: advanced technology, patient-centric design, antimicrobial materials and improved safety features.
A closer look at the Dental Pod Pro’s cutting-edge features
Following the launch of the original Dental Pod, the feedback, advice and collaboration received from dental professionals has helped inspire the development of several new standout features:
- The Dental Pod Pro’s patent-pending ultrasonic technology delivers unparalleled cleaning power. Building on the success of the Dental Pod, Zima Dental have introduced an additional cleaning mode for the Pro. ‘Max Clean mode’ is a dual-action cleaning system that alternates between high-intensity 45,000Hz ultrasonic bursts and consistent vibrations. This advanced mode is particularly effective at breaking down tough stains, plaque, and bacterial biofilms that form during periods of long-term buildup
- The Dental Pod Pro also introduces several user-friendly upgrades designed to make oral appliance care more efficient and convenient. A key improvement is the modular tank and base, which simplifies the maintenance process. With the tank and power base now separate components, users can fill and clean the tank without having to unplug from the power source
- The increased tank capacity is especially beneficial for patients with larger appliances, like dentures, or those needing to clean multiple devices at once. This makes the technology accessible to more patients, with a wider range of appliance types
- The Dental Pod Pro’s materials and surfaces have been enhanced with anti-microbial and bacteria-resistant properties. Its tank is constructed with antibacterial stainless steel, enhanced with elements such as chromium, manganese, and nickel, which actively reduce bacterial growth on the surface. The rubber of the lid has been crosslinked to improve resistance to bacterial growth during use.
A continued commitment to innovation and quality
The Dental Pod Pro is a collaboration with engineers, dentists, patients, and is a testament to Zima Dental’s commitment to innovation and quality. From its functional, yet modern, design to its advanced cleaning technology, this device embodies the company’s dedication to providing oral appliance users with the best possible care solutions.
With the Dental Pod already the recommended cleaning method by 1000s of dentists, the launch of the Dental Pod Pro provides patients with an upgraded option, and an even easier, safer and more effective way to care for their appliances. It will be available for purchase on 13 October at www.zimadental.co.uk.
