Do Dental Ultrasonic Cleaning Devices Work?

Dental Ultrasonic Cleaning Devices: Why the Sereclean Pod is the Ultimate Solution

Maintaining the cleanliness of your dental appliances, such as retainers, clear aligners, dentures, and mouthguards, is crucial for both oral hygiene and appliance longevity. While brushing and rinsing can help, they often miss hidden bacteria and plaque. That’s where ultrasonic cleaning devices like the Sereclean Pod come in.

When paired with a specially formulated Sereclean Cleaning Tablet, ultrasonic cleaning takes dental appliance care to the next level. Here’s why this method is not only more effective, but also essential for keeping your devices in top shape.

1. Superior Cleaning Power

Ultrasonic cleaners use high-frequency sound waves to create microscopic bubbles in a cleaning solution. This process, known as cavitation, gently scrubs surfaces and removes debris in hard-to-reach areas.

However, water alone isn’t enough. A dental cleaning tablet ensures the solution is both effective and safe for your appliances. These tablets contain enzymes and antimicrobial agents that break down proteins and kill bacteria, complementing ultrasonic waves for a deep, thorough clean.

2. Better Hygiene & Odour Control

Regular cleaning prevents bacteria buildup that can cause bad breath, staining, and oral infections. While ultrasonic devices remove debris, they may not fully neutralise odour-causing bacteria.

That’s where a cleaning tablet makes the difference. Formulated with antimicrobial properties, Sereclean Tablets sanitise your retainers, aligners, or dentures, keeping them fresh, odour-free, and safe for daily use.

3. Gentle on Your Appliances

Unlike manual scrubbing or harsh chemical solutions, ultrasonic cleaning is non-abrasive, protecting delicate materials. Sereclean Tablets are specially formulated to be gentle yet powerful, ensuring your appliances remain scratch-free, clear, and durable over time.

Whether you wear Invisalign®, dentures, or custom mouthguards, the Sereclean system helps extend their lifespan.

4. Convenience & Ease of Use

Cleaning your dental appliances shouldn’t feel like a chore. With the Sereclean Pod + Cleaning Tablet system, it’s as simple as:

  1. Fill the Pod with water

  2. Drop in a Sereclean Cleaning Tablet

  3. Place your appliance inside

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
