Why doesn't the Dental pod have a UV light?Updated 3 months ago

In certain situations, UV light can effectively steriliwe objects. However, we decided not to include UV in the Dental pod for three reasons. Firstly, chemical sterilisation with our tablets is significantly more effective than UV sterilisation for oral appliances. 

Secondly, UV requires specific design considerations to be effective, which would weaken the more important ultrasonic effect. Finally, our sterilising tablet formulation offers additional advantages against UV such as being able to sterilise both sides of your appliance, removing odor and leaving your appliance with a fresh taste and smell.
