Retainer & Denture Cleaning Pod

An ultrasonic cleaner is a device that uses sound waves to clean surfaces through a process called cavitation*. These sound waves travel through water, creating millions of microscopic bubbles that quickly form and collapse. As they collapse, the bubbles release gentle but powerful energy that lifts away dirt, plaque and debris, even from tiny crevices.

Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves to create millions of tiny bubbles that gently lift away plaque, debris and buildup. This process, called cavitation, reaches into the smallest crevices to thoroughly clean your dental appliances without harsh scrubbing or chemicals. 

UV light cleaning works by using germicidal wavelengths of ultraviolet light to disrupt the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms*. This prevents them from reproducing and effectively deactivates them.

GuruNanda’s Retainer & Denture Cleaning Pod features a built-in UV light that activates when the lid is closed, helping sanitize the water tank and your dental appliance.

Yes, ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe for cleaning dentures and retainers*. The microscopic bubbles created by ultrasonic waves have been shown to help lift away debris and particles without scratching or damaging delicate surfaces.

Yes, ultrasonic cleaners are highly effective! A study showed that using an ultrasonic cleaner with a denture cleanser has been shown to remove plaque more thoroughly than traditional soaking and brushing and improve user satisfaction.

Retainers should be cleaned at least once a day* to remove plaque, buildup and bacteria. We also recommend using it after you’ve eaten. 

For added freshness, many experts also recommend a deeper clean once a week using an antibacterial denture cleaner. Skipping regular cleaning can lead to discoloration, odor and an unpleasant taste.

Dentures should be cleaned daily to help remove plaque, food debris and adhesive buildup. Avoid using harsh toothpaste or stiff brushes, which can scratch or wear down your dentures over time.

While specific instructions can vary by manufacturer, ultrasonic cleaners typically work by sending high-frequency sound waves through water to create microscopic bubbles that gently lift away plaque, debris and buildup.

To use GuruNanda’s Retainer & Denture Cleaning Pod, simply fill the tank with water, add a cleaning tablet (optional) or dental cleanser and place your appliance inside. Choose your preferred cleaning mode (5, 8 or 10 minutes), press the button and let the ultrasonic waves and UV light do the work. When the cycle ends, rinse your appliance thoroughly before using it.

Yes, you can. In fact, using a denture cleaning tablet or solution inside an ultrasonic cleaner can help enhance its cleaning power. This combination has been shown in studies to reduce more plaque and shift bacteria toward a healthier balance*, making it a recommended method for maintaining clean, fresh-smelling dental appliances.
