No, Glym is specifically calibrated to be safe for all clear aligner brands and retainer types.

Here's why it's safer than what you're probably doing now:

The biggest threat to your Invisalign isn't ultrasonic cleaning — it's heat (which warps the plastic), abrasive brushing (which creates micro-scratches that trap more bacteria), and harsh persulfate tablets like Polident or Efferdent (which slowly erode the plastic over weeks of use, contributing to the yellowing you're trying to prevent).

Glym uses room-temperature water, no abrasion, and a tablet formula free of persulfates and bleach. The ultrasonic waves act on the water — not on the plastic itself — which is why it's used in dental clinics on retainers, dentures, and orthodontic appliances every day.

Tested safe with: Invisalign, ClearCorrect, Byte, SmileDirect, Spark, Vivera, Hawley, Essix retainers, custom night guards, full and partial dentures.

Always follow your orthodontist's specific care instructions. If you have questions about a custom appliance, email us first — we'll tell you honestly if Glym is right for it.

Cycle 1 (5 minutes from now): the water turns visibly cloudy with brown-yellow particles. That's the biofilm your toothbrush left behind. You'll see it with your own eyes, most customers photograph it.

Week 1: the morning aligner smell stops. You stop doing the hand-cup breath check before talking to people up close.

Week 2-3: visible cloudiness on your aligners starts to clear. The yellow tint at the back molars fades. You stop checking your trays in every reflective surface before you laugh.

Month 1: your aligners look invisible again the way they did the day your ortho handed them over. Even strangers don't notice them in close conversation.

Month 2-4: complete restoration. Your treatment ends with aligners that look brand new. Your future retainers stay crystal-clear permanently because the daily routine becomes second nature.

The honest part: results compound with daily use. Skipping cycles means biofilm rebuilds. Glym works the same way brushing your teeth works once is great, every day is the difference.

Yes — Glym was engineered as a universal dental appliance cleaner, not just an Invisalign-specific device.

Tested safe and effective on:

• Clear aligners — Invisalign, ClearCorrect, Byte, SmileDirect, Spark, Candid
• Retainers — Vivera, Hawley (with metal wire), Essix, all post-Invisalign retainers
• Night guards — custom dental-grade splints, soft and hard occlusal guards, anti-bruxism appliances
• Sport mouthguards — boil-and-bite or custom-fitted
• Full and partial dentures — acrylic and flexible base materials
• Orthodontic appliances — palatal expanders, bite plates, Herbst appliances (removable parts)

Why one device works for all of them:

Every removable dental appliance has the same core enemy — biofilm. The bacteria that anchor in the micro-crevices of your aligners are the exact same strains that anchor in your retainer, your night guard, and your mother's denture. Same problem, same solution.

The difference is just shape and size. The Glym Pod chamber holds anything that fits within a 3.5-inch diameter — which covers every consumer dental appliance on the market, including full upper or lower dentures.

The family-pod factor:

Most of our customers don't buy Glym just for themselves. They buy it for the household:

• You clean your Invisalign in the morning
• Your partner cleans their night guard before bed
• Your mother cleans her denture after lunch when she visits
• Your kid in middle-school braces cleans their elastic mouthpiece after practice

One device. Four people. Four different appliances. All crystal-clear, all the time.

Heads up: the only things Glym is NOT designed for are fixed appliances (traditional braces still on your teeth, permanent retainers wired behind your teeth) and any appliance with electronic components. If you have something custom or unusual, email us first — we'll tell you honestly if Glym is right for it.

Yes and here's why it works when nothing else has.

The smell isn't your aligners. It's bacteria living on them. Specifically Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans the same strains responsible for morning breath, but trapped in a closed, warm, moist environment for 22 hours a day. Brushing kills the surface layer. The smell comes back within hours because the bacteria anchored deeper in the plastic crevices repopulate fast.

Glym's ultrasonic action reaches those crevices. Combined with the active oxygen released by Glym tablets, a single 5-minute cycle eliminates 99.9% of bacteria including the strains that cause aligner odor.

What our customers report:

Most people notice the morning smell stops within 7-10 days of daily Glym use. The first time you wake up, take your aligners out, and smell nothing — you'll remember exactly where you were.

And yes, your partner will notice too. Several of our reviews are "my boyfriend leaned in for a kiss for the first time in months." That's not marketing copy. That's verbatim from the wall.

Yes Glym was built for travel from day one.

The numbers:

• Compact — fits in your palm, slips into any toiletry bag, smaller than your electric toothbrush
• Light — 280g (roughly the weight of a deck of cards)
• TSA-friendly — clears airport security without removal, no liquid or battery declarations needed
• USB-C charging — same cable as your phone. No bulky adapter, no proprietary brick
• Battery life — one full charge powers 30+ cleaning cycles. A full month of daily use without recharging
• Dual voltage — works internationally without an adapter (just a plug converter for the wall outlet)

What's included for travel:

Your order ships with a premium hard-shell travel case (a $39 value, included free) molded foam interior holds the pod, a strip of cleaning tablets, and the charging cable in one zip-up unit. It's the case our customers say they didn't realize they needed until they used it.

The reality of using it abroad: drop in your aligners with a tablet, fill with bottled water if the tap is questionable, run the cycle while you finish your skincare. 5 minutes later you're done. Same routine as home.

Don't trust your hotel's bathroom water? Use bottled. Glym doesn't care about water quality only that the volume covers your aligners.

Most of our customers tell us they've stopped thinking about whether Glym will last. They use it every morning, plug it in once a month, throw it in their toiletry bag for trips, and it just works. We have customers from our 2023 launch still using their original device daily — zero battery issues, zero performance drop.

And if anything ever goes wrong? Your order includes a 2-year device warranty ($69 value, free with The Complete Glym Routine). If the pod fails for any reason that's not deliberate damage, we replace it — no questions, no shipping fees, no proof-of-purchase forms.

Buy it once. Protect every smile that comes after — yours, your kids' future Invisalign, your retainers for life. It's the rare device that earns its place on your counter for a decade, not 18 months.

Use Glym daily for up to 100 nights. If it doesn't change your routine — full refund. No return needed.

Here's the deal we make with you:

If after 100 nights your aligners aren't visibly cleaner, your breath doesn't feel fresher when you wake up, and you don't feel your $5K investment is finally protected, just email us.

The process:

2. Include your order number and a one-line note (no forms, no surveys, no "tell us why")
