Research

In 2021, Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen carried out research which showed, ultrasonic + UVC can kill 99.97% bacteria without any cleaning chemical! This is the same technology that Sonic Spa uses for our Sonic Spa Pod Ultracleaner!We have outlined some of their findings below.

Finding One

Ultrasonic technology

Ultraviolet germicidal light-emitting diodes (275nm) are very effective for the cleaning of clear aligners and the expulsion of viable cells of oral microbes from the aligner surface.

Finding Two

Viability of bacterial count

The viability of bacterial colonies on cleaned dental products is reduced by 88.6% for a cleaning time of 5 minutes and 99.97% for a cleaning time of 10 minutes.

Finding Three

42-45kHz

The Sonic Spa's operational frequency merited significant results proving its effectiveness. The colour change in lab samples shows the results.
