 Hello everybody Andrea here. So let's talk about loops today. This is another very common question that I get asked from a lot of hygienists either whether they need loops do you feel that I need loops or which ones are the best ones because loops are safety glasses that magnify inside the mouth so they are amazing. I did not purchase loops as soon as I started hygiene or I should say in my dental profession because I it was too expensive at the time I wanted to learn how to use you know how to clean teeth without them I kind of felt if I had too much magnifying power that's not going to help me but really that's a very silly excuse it was more about the money so if you can invest in loops do it now because once you do start using them you will not want to go back so I'm going to show you guys a company where I purchased my first loops from they would be or scoptic and they truly are very good loops. I've talked about them before in previous videos they're very expensive I want to say I paid about two thousand dollars for these but this was also several years ago this is my first pair of loops that I've had and so far they're the best ones that I've tried loops that I have right now are from rose micro solutions and I felt they were really really good too when I first purchased them they were a much lesser price like I want to say I paid a thousand dollars for them but I'm going to give you guys a couple differences here okay so all in all or scoptic is the best that I've tried so far mainly because your magnifiers are attached to your loops safety glasses and if you purchase a light which you really really should they would just clip on top here and then you can move it around that way I believe with the or scoptic light the loops sorry the light is attached in such a way where yes you can move it but it's still strongly attached if that makes sense the loops that I have now which I should actually show you guys the website I don't love them anymore because the light you put it on top of the loops and that's great but it's so kind of flimsy where it seems to get loose a lot so I will go to adjust the light this way and then it just kind of hangs there or it just hangs there so then I have to readjust it but then if I move this way it just kind of hangs there and doesn't really work so I find now that I've had my other loops for about two years now the light is so flimsy that sometimes I have to pretty much hold it so I actually want to try to find my or scoptic loops again I can't find them that's the funny thing I've moved a few times since then they've got to be around here somewhere but I really hope that the lights still work I purchased other loops because I was at a dental convention they were a great price and loops don't last forever so I just thought I'll probably need new ones sometime soon and hey I just kind of wanted some new loops they were a good price and that's kind of why I did it but or scoptic even if you ask other hygienists out there it's a great company very expensive but you get what you paid for they also don't have the best customer service maybe things are better now but when I had to send my loops in I forget why but I damaged them within the first year it was covered under warranty but it was a pain to have to contact somebody to get them shipped they gave me the wrong information shipping got lost all kinds of things it was a really a big mess but maybe it was just the person who I dealt with at the time the loops are the best quality that I've seen and that's the best that I can say there I wish I could try different loops from different companies to truly let you guys know my opinion on them because I've only tried a couple I did buy the ones from Amazon they didn't work the magnifying was the same as the 2.5 here because that's usually what you want to start with but from Amazon they just didn't work like it was blurry it just simply didn't work so I feel you do have to be measured for loops custom measurements where the rep actually comes out and measures your like distance here measures like your working distance I do feel that's very important I was measured as well when I went to the convention to buy my rose micro solutions loops and they were great they were amazing the light was perfect a lot less expensive it even came with like two battery packs for the lights which I thought was amazing but over time the light that attaches to the glasses just becomes too loose I should just try tightening it that might be the answer right there but all in all you guys I did feel like the or scoptic was better quality if you want to save some money I did like rose micro solutions they have excellent customer service by the way which helps I've had issues with my loops since then with the light just stops working I have probably like five battery packs that they've sent me to try to get the light to work that didn't work so they actually sent me another light like and they didn't charge me for any of this like clearly they want to do whatever they can for my loops and the light to properly work they are amazing everything gets sent within like a day or two it's fantastic so they do have excellent customer service so it really depends if you want to try to save some money I will leave the link on the bottom for you for rose micro solutions they are fantastic I just felt the quality or scoptic there is bigger bigger better quality but I mean I'm kind of lazy too with my rose micro solutions loops I probably just have to tighten the light on the top so then that way it's not as flimsy I'm going to do another video showing you guys exactly the loops that I have I want to find the or scoptic one so I can show you guys the difference so I will definitely do that for you but I wanted to stick with this video to inform you guys you know the two different loops that I do like that I've tried and why you should get them I should also say you guys get the light with the loops yes you're probably spending an extra one thousand dollars to get the light you need the light I'm a mobile dental hygienist so I need the light that's just one less thing for me to have to carry in like a portable light the light is on the end of my loops it means everything once you try a light you cannot go back okay get one light one battery pack make sure it is charged up that's the way to go and that's why I liked rose micro solutions as well because they came with two battery packs for basically a lesser price so when you're charging up one you don't have to worry you can still charge up the other one because or sorry use the other one because it happens you'll be working and you'll forget that you were supposed to charge your loops battery pack last night and then it runs out and then you don't have a light that's just sat so that's why I do like having two um but it does tell you when the charge is going to run out and you do have I would say about at least a couple days maybe even a week per battery pack anyways guys this is a lot of information about loops I'm trying to keep the video shorter but it just doesn't work so please comment below if you guys have any questions a quick note about comments I do read them I apologize if it takes me a while to answer you back I am trying to get better with that okay thank you still comment thumbs up click like and I'll see you guys in the next video
