About The Sonic Spa

What is Steribrite™?

Steribrite™ is our proprietary dual action cleaning technology which has been specifically developed alongside dental professionals to bring the best, clinical-grade clean to your home.

Steribrite™ combines high frequency 42,000Hz ultrasonic waves with powerful UV-C light. It not only cleans your dental appliance, but it has also been lab tested and proven to kill 99.9% of all bacteria, viruses and pathogens.

What is the science behind The Sonic Spa?

The Sonic Spa uses ultrasonic technology. This is a super gentle yet highly effective cleaning action that has been used in the dental setting to clean equipment for over 60 years. High frequency, high intensity soundwaves create millions of microscopic bubbles through water which implode in a process called cavitation. These tiny bubbles have the power to blast dirt and particles from the dental appliance submerged in the water, without causing any damage to the item.

In addition to ultrasonic cleaning technology, The Sonic Spa also uses an in-built UV-C, or ultraviolet light. UV light has long been known as an effective disinfectant which kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and pathogens which are exposed to it. This means that you can be sure your dental appliances are left sparkling clean and bacteria free!

Why do you use Ultrasonic & U.V. Light?

Ultrasonic cleaning technology on it’s own cleans dental appliances, but the UV light means that 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and pathogens are also destroyed in the cleaning process.

Can I clean my dental appliance with a toothbrush?

A toothbrush is not the most effective tool to clean your dental appliance. While it will remove some bacteria and plaque, you are unlikely to get into all the nooks, crannies and crevices. The scrubbing motion can actually cause damage to the surface, scratches and cloudy looking trays which can not only be unsightly but can lead to irritation and even infection.

Can I just clean my appliance with just a sterilising tablet?

While sterilising tablets will kill some of the bacteria on the surface of your dental appliance, they can not penetrate any deeper. Our built in UV light means that 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and pathogens are destroyed while the ultrasonic waves gently strip your dental appliance of dirt, so you can be sure of a thorough clean every time.

Can I use hot water in The Sonic Spa?

You should never use hot water to clean your aligners or other dental appliances as it can cause the material to warp. We always recommend using cool or room temperature water in your Sonic Spa.

Is this what dentists use?
