The Zima UV Case utilizes a dual-action system, combining both UVC and UVA light, ensuring an exceptionally thorough and effective sterilization process.UVC light, with its shorter, more energetic wavelength, is renowned for its germicidal properties. It works by penetrating the cell walls of bacteria and viruses, destroying their genetic material and effectively neutralizing them.Following the UVC sterilization, the device employs UVA light, which has a longer wavelength. This second stage of the process not only ensures any potential surviving microorganisms are effectively dealt with but also assists in removing stains and odors from the dental appliances. This helps maintain not just the hygiene but also the aesthetics of your oral appliances.Through extensive testing and development, we&apos;ve ensured that this dual-action system works optimally within a short duration, providing you with a thoroughly sanitized dental appliance quickly and conveniently. We&apos;ve optimized the intensity and exposure time to each type of UV light, ensuring maximum efficacy without causing any damage to your appliances. It&apos;s a robust system that provides confidence in the cleanliness of your dental appliance every time you use it.

How effective is the UV light we use?

Zima UV Case's sliding lid is easy to use and very secure.

Zima UV Case&apos;s sliding lid is easy to use and very secure. With a gentle push, you can slide the lid open to put your dental appliance inside. Once you&apos;re done, just slide it back. A built-in magnet makes sure the lid snaps shut and stays that way, keeping the UV lights sealed inside for safe and effective cleaning. Plus, this smart design lets you open and close the lid with just one hand. It&apos;s simple, safe, and straightforward - that&apos;s Zima UV Case

How does the sliding lid mechanism work?

No, the Zima Go should not be filled with water at any time, as this can cause it to break.

No, the Zima UV Case should not be filled with water at any time, as this can cause it to break. The Zima UV Case has a different cleaning mechanism to the Dental pod: instead of using ultrasonic cavitation in water, it uses Ultra-Violet light to kill bacteria, and therefore does not require any water. This results in a less comprehensive clean than the Dental pod, but it importantly kills bacteria that cause oral hygiene issues such as bad breath and infections, whilst on the go. Small amounts of moisture that may be on your appliance when you place it in the Zima UV Case should not cause any damage to your device.

Does the Zima UV Case need water?

Yes, despite Zima's UV Case compact size (Φ90mm 28.5mm), the design is highly space-efficient.

Yes, despite Zima&apos;s UV Case compact size (&#x3A6;90mm 28.5mm), the design is highly space-efficient. Its internal space (&#x3A6;84.5mm 20.2mm) can accommodate more than one item, allowing you to transport and sterilize multiple items simultaneously. The case is 19mm deep, which is typically enough space to stack two sets of clear retainers/aligners, or one large mouth guard. However, to ensure effective sterilisation, we advise not to overcrowd the case and to arrange items in a way that encourages the UV light to reach all surfaces.

Can Zima UV Case hold more than one appliance at a time?

For a comprehensive 360-degree hygiene approach, we recommend using both the Dental Pod and the UV Case.

For a comprehensive 360-degree hygiene approach, we recommend using both the Dental Pod and the Zima&apos;s UV Case.The Dental Pod provides a thorough ultrasonic clean, dislodging particles and removing stains from your oral appliances, as well as a full saturation sterilisation. But remember, bacteria can recolonize quickly once the appliance is exposed to the environment.&#xA0;That&apos;s where the UV Case comes into play. It serves not only as a steriliser but also as a protective storage case when your appliance is not being cleaned or worn. By housing your dental appliances in the Zima Go, you&apos;re keeping them in a consistently sterilised environment. This reduces the potential for bacterial and viral contamination between cleanings and wears, providing continuous protection for your oral health.
