Frequently Asked Questions

The Ultrasonic Cleaner is suitable for cleaning clear aligners, dental trays, night guards, dentures, mouthguards, braces (both metal and plastic), and toothbrush heads.

Using a sterilising tablet alone is like brushing your teeth with toothpaste but without a toothbrush. It may remove some bacteria, but it doesn't reach deep enough to eliminate all residue. For a truly thorough clean, additional methods are needed to target deep-seated bacteria and plaque – the kind that can affect your oral health and leave your aligners cloudy and dirty.

The reason is simple: toothbrushes can cause abrasive damage to dental devices like aligners or mouthguards. With frequent use, this leads to scratches, a cloudy appearance, and discomfort when wearing them. Plus, toothbrushes can’t reach all the small crevices, often leaving behind bacteria, plaque, and debris on your dental appliance.

The cleaning process with the SonicSmile Ultrasonic Cleaner takes just 5 minutes and stops automatically.

Quite the opposite. Ultrasonic cleaning is completely gentle and causes no abrasion at all. Why?

It generates millions of tiny bubbles that gently yet thoroughly clean the entire surface of your aligner without causing any damage. Our ultrasonic cleaner is specifically designed to safely clean materials like metal and aligner plastic.

Our ultrasonic cleaning technology uses high-frequency sound waves at 45,000 Hz to create millions of microscopic bubbles in the cleaning solution. These bubbles form through rapid vibrations, expand, and collapse – gently lifting away dirt, bacteria, and plaque from your dental products. This process, known as “cavitation,” ensures that all surfaces, even hard-to-reach areas, are thoroughly cleaned.

The UV light in the Ultrasonic Cleaner provides an extra level of disinfection beyond ultrasonic cleaning. It helps reduce bacteria and germs on the surface of your aligners, offering added sterilization. While the ultrasonic cleaner removes dirt and debris, the UV light supports a more hygienic environment by eliminating any remaining germs. When combined with our sterilising tablets, this technology ensures a thorough cleaning and disinfection of your aligners.

Answer richtext

The tank of the Ultrasonic Cleaner is made of highly polished stainless steel, making it easy to clean. Usually, a simple rinse is enough. If needed, a soft brush or small cleaning tool can be used to remove stubborn residue.

Sterilising tablets ensure that your aligners aren’t just clean, but truly hygienic. In combination with the ultrasonic cleaner, they remove 99.9% of stubborn buildup, bacteria, and odors that regular cleaning alone may not fully eliminate. This keeps your aligners or dental trays fresh and comfortable to wear at all times.

Other cleaning tablets may damage the Ultrasonic Cleaner over time and wear down the stainless steel tank. Our specially developed Sterilising Tablets, however, are precisely formulated to meet the cleaner’s needs. They contain high-quality, non-corrosive ingredients to ensure your Ultrasonic Cleaner stays in perfect condition for the long term.
