 Hi everybody, Andrea here with dental L. I'm doing an update on my Amazon loops video. So if you guys look back in my channel, you'll see I did a video on me ordering Amazon loops. I have been a dental professional for almost 17 years and I've had about three or four sets of loops in total, ranging from the most expensive being about $2,000 to $1,000 $800. These were about $80. I might have gotten them on sale for $60. I think they're around the $70 mark, you know with Amazon, the prices go up and down. But guess what, it also includes the light getting loops for let's just say $80 plus a light, all included is unheard of. It comes in this really amazing case. So it's not your like cheap case, it includes felt, all of this to keep your loops safe. Trust me, it's needed. I'm a mobile dental hygienist, I need to have something to transport them in because you can't just put them in your purse or a pencil case or whatever. Been there, done that, they will get wrecked. Okay, so keep them in this nice case. So it literally comes with this cool case that you can carry around with you. It makes you look super cool, doesn't it? So the update is how are the loops going? Mine are a 2.5 magnification. Okay, so I do wear prescription glasses at night only. I do not wear a prescription otherwise. A common question and some comments on my last video was what magnification do you need if you wear a prescription? I can't answer that for you. I do not know since I don't wear one, but they do come in different magnifications. They come in 2.5, 3.5. I can leave the links for you guys down below for 2.5 and 3.5. I do suggest if you wear a prescription to get the 3.5. But guess what you guys? It's Amazon. If it doesn't work for you, take it back. I have absolutely bought in loops before. I want to say from Amazon before. Two years ago, maybe a year ago, they did not work for me. They were a 2.5 magnification. They did not work. I took them back. It was that simple. I put them on and like I was seeing five, like it was crazy. If you guys can hear that, that's my puppy playing. Sorry guys, working from home. So not all loops are made the same on Amazon. So I'm going to leave the link for you down below to get these ones if you want to try them. Tried and true, they're amazing. They even come with this strap as well, which is extremely handy. So I literally just have it on around. You put this behind you. You can put it like under your lab coat, scrub top, whatever. I just put it behind me because it's quicker. Plug it in. The light goes on. I probably have to charge this. I don't know. Once a week. Sorry for my loud dog, you guys. I hope you can't hear her. But and you adjust them. I kind of like that in the loops I've had before the magnifiers came in the lens so you can't adjust them. So it is easier that way because they're made for you. But getting them from Amazon, they're not customized, right? That's why you're not paying $2,000. I prefer to pay $80 and have them not customized than to pay $2,000 and have them customized. It's very easy, you guys, to adjust them. Come on. Very easy. Save your money. So literally what you do is you put them on and there's a little knob here. You see how these are moving further out. I don't think anybody's eyes are that far out. But mine are usually right as like the closest it can get. You adjust the light to how your patient is. Some patients are taller, some are shorter. You're going to need to adjust the light. The orange piece here, which you don't need, so just take that off. Do I have it on? No. If you want it down, you still have the light, but it's an orange light. For those doing, whoops, sorry. That was bright. For those doing composite fillings, if you are a dentist or a restorative hygienist, you'll need to put the orange piece down because this is an amazing light. It will cure the filling too fast. Even if you're, I don't think assistants wear loops, do they? If you are a dental assistant that wears loops and you're assisting the dentist, have this orange piece down because you don't want to cure the filling too soon before they've had a chance to put it in there, right? So put it on, adjust this for your patient, move the light, done and done. I keep the light pack in my pocket because I like to wear a lab coat. I put that in my pocket. The cord, everything's out of the way. It is fantastic. So what are the points of loops? They improve your posture. The magnifiers, the teeth are larger. How is that not awesome? I highly recommend these loops for anybody. If you're a student just starting out, hey, I think you can probably afford $80, $2,000, probably not, but this will make your job so much easier. If you've been thinking about loops, you're not sure, spend the money. $80, try them out. If you don't like them, take them back. It comes with a light. Did I mention that? That's so important. In some of my previous loops videos, I do mention if you can't afford the light right away, that's okay, but you really need the light. The light is amazing. You can see things so much better. You can see the overhead light in dental offices, the one you had in clinic when you were in school. Remember, you have to adjust the light 20 times. You're like, what the heck? With this, there's no adjusting. It's one light. You can move it how you want. But once you're setting up for your patient, your patient's lying down, you're getting ready. You won't have to adjust it anymore. I highly recommend them. I've been using them now for what, a couple months since I made the last video? I will never buy $2,000 loops again. Never. Why? If these work just as well, why? Try them out, you guys. I'll leave the link for you down below. I do hope this helped. Click like if you liked the video. That would be fantastic.
