Problem
Dental plaque is a sticky bacterial deposit that easily accumulates on dentures and dental aligners.
Lack of proper oral hygiene can lead to serious health problems such as tooth decay, gingivitis, and other periodontal diseases.
Patients using dentures and orthodontic aligners are particularly vulnerable to these problems, as their devices provide an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and biofilms.
Solution
Ultrasonic technology is an innovative solution that enables effective cleaning of dentures and dental aligners.
It works by generating ultrasonic waves that create microscopic bubbles in the cleaning liquid.
These bubbles implode with great force, removing even the toughest dirt and biofilms from the surfaces of dentures and aligners.
Technology
Ultrasound, typically at frequencies between 20 kHz and 40 kHz, is used to induce cavitation in the cleaning liquid.
Cavitation causes the formation of microbubbles, which, by imploding, generate local pressures and temperatures, effectively removing contaminants from hard-to-reach places.
