How Ultrapod cleans your appliances in only 3 minutes
-
Ultrasonic Power Unleashed
When docked, a custom-designed ultrasonic transducer built within the Ultrapod's durable shell transforms the sleek steel case into a high power, fully-functional 47,000hz (47khz) ultrasonic cleaner.
-
Vibration leads to Cavitation
47khz ultrasound reverberates through the Ultrapod's stainless steel case, causing microscopic bubbles to form in a process called cavitation. This happens thousands of times per second!
-
Bubble Cleaning Action
The bubbles expand and collapse thousands of times per second, forming micro-pockets of turbulence that causes a powerful cleaning effect removing contaminants while keeping your appliances intact within the Ultrapod
Ultrapod FAQs
Is Ultrapod just for retainers?
Nope!
Ultrapod can be used for retainers, aligners, dentures, mouthguards and even jewelry!
Before ordering, make sure Ultrapod fits for your needs:
The internal capacity with the lid on is roughly 18mm high and 73mm across. If something doesn't fit, let us know as we're working on a larger case for other uses!
How long does Ultrapod take to clean?
3 Minutes!
The days of waiting 5 minutes for your retainers to clean are over. We've optimized Ultrapod to be far more efficient (40%) than other ultrasonic cleaners on the market.
Does Ultrapod have a rechargeable battery?
Nope!
The goals we set for Ultrapod's modular design are to maximize portability, reliability and repairability in order to cut down on waste caused by short product lives.
Adding a battery would cancel out a lot of these goals as most battery tech is very bad for the environment, adds bulk and reduces the product's theoretical lifespan.
Can I just use my toothbrush or cleaning tablet?
Depends.
Tablets
Studies have shown that the best possible way to clean your appliances is with the use of a cleaning tablet AND Ultrasonic cleaner. That being said, we do not think you have to use an ultrasonic cleaner or tablet every day.
P.S. we're working on a new tablet system too 🤫
Toothbrushing
Toothbrushes are just mechanical cleaners with very limited cleaning potential compared to ultrasonics. Toothbrushes also offer zero antibacterial properties outside of physical removal.
Toothpaste
Believe it or not, over-the-counter (OTC) toothpastes are not actually anti-bacterial. Toothpaste is primarily a mechanical aid to remove bacteria, not kill them. In fact, toothpaste is more of a oral freshener than an oral cleaner. While fluoride has some anti-bacterial properties, it's mainly used for enamel repair. If you were to use a toothbrush, you can just avoid toothpaste altogether.
Only a few toothpastes have antibacterial properties, and they use Triclosan, which is linked to a number bad effects in humans.
