Loupes in Brazil are very expensive and few dentist have one. In graduation anyone do not have loupes.

[@thedentalduo]

Yeah, loupes are very expensive in the US as well. We’re required to get loupes at our schools but it’s normalized because most people take out loans to be able to afford them.

[@thiagoperes7437]

​@@thedentalduo In Brazil, these loupes cost R$ 10,000 and the minimum salary here is R$ 1,500. Paying for the materials necessary for the course is very difficult for some people. THe public university sometimes provides these materials. Generally, we recieve all disposable materials from the university.

How fast did your loupes come in?

[@thedentalduo]

Hey! Thanks for commenting! The loupes too about 3 weeks to come in from the day we placed the order.

No ergo? Give it a couple ofyears youll hace neck pain like the rest of us

[@thedentalduo]

We got “direct ergos” loupes. The angle of declination and positioning of the lens is extremely low compared to regular direct loupes. As of now, we’ve been pain free and have great form while working. My head is tilted a lot lower typing this message while using my phone compared to using my loupes. Hopefully the pain doesn’t build up in the years but as of now we haven’t felt any discomfort compared to my other classmates who went with direct loupes from other companies.

@thedentalduo that makes sense. I have neck pain that's why I'm looking

[@thedentalduo]

Good luck on your search! I know Q-Optics has a pretty decent trial period. I'm pretty sure if you return your loupes within 4 months of receiving them you can get a full refund in addition to having a 6 month grace period where you can exchange your direct ergos for standard ergos if you prefer those instead. Its a good standard to make sure you are fully satisfied with your purchase. We could still exchange to standard ergos today if we wanted to. @@iddicted
