Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just clean my retainer with a toothbrush?
Brushing can scratch clear plastic, causing it to turn cloudy over time, and bristles can't reach into every crevice the way ultrasonic waves can.
Will Dental Cube damage my retainer or aligner?
No. Ultrasonic cleaning uses sound waves to lift debris, not abrasion — it's gentle on both plastic and metal components.
What can Dental Cube clean?
Retainers, clear aligners, dentures, and night guards.
Do I need cleaning tablets?
No — Dental Cube works with plain water. Tablets can be used alongside it if you want, but aren't required.
How long does a full charge last?
A full USB-C charge takes about 3 hours and powers roughly 10–15 cleaning cycles, depending on the cycle length you choose.
How do I clean the Dental Cube itself?
Empty the tank after use and wipe it dry. Avoid submerging the base or charging port.
Should I clean my retainer every day?
Follow your dentist's or orthodontist's recommended schedule for your specific appliance. Dental Cube's 3/5/10-minute cycles can fit into any routine.
