The DentalWave utilizes high-frequency 42,000 Hz ultrasonic waves to create millions of nano-scale bubbles in the cleaning solution. These bubbles rapidly expand and collapse, releasing significant energy that scours and removes grime, bacteria, and plaque without damaging your dental appliance. This process, known as 'cavitation,' occurs approximately 4,000 times per second, ensuring all surfaces and gaps are thoroughly cleaned in a short cycle.
The precise frequency needed for optimal cavitation depends on the water level and the size/material of the oral appliance. Fortunately, the DentalWave features a built-in dynamic feedback system that analyzes the contents and adjusts to the optimal frequency for effective ultrasonic cleaning.
Ultrasonic cleaning technology is safe and reliable, having been widely used in laboratories, commercial, industrial, and other fields for decades.
The DentalWave has been expertly designed by our US scientists to clean a wide range of oral appliances. This includes all types of clear aligners, retainers (including those with metal), mouth guards, dentures, bite guards (night guards), sleep apnea devices, toothbrush heads, and more.

Using only a cleaning tablet is like brushing your teeth with toothpaste but no toothbrush. Tablets may kill some bacteria on the surface of your appliance, but they won't penetrate deeper layers. Harmful bacteria and plaque will remain, potentially affecting your dental and physical health while leaving your appliance cloudy and dirty.
Using a toothbrush on dental appliances can cause abrasive damage, resulting in scratches, discomfort, and a cloudy appearance. Moreover, a toothbrush cannot reach every crevice, leaving behind bacteria, plaque, and grime on your oral appliance.
Not at all. The ultrasonic cleaning method is entirely non-abrasive, generating millions of microbubbles that gently yet thoroughly clean the entire surface of the appliance without causing any damage. The Dental Pod is designed to safely clean various 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.
