For more than 30 years, Orascoptic has been designing and manufacturing award-winning dental loupes with the goal of improving the overall performance, safety and comfort of dentists and dental hygienists around the world. Orascoptic's vision is to see every health care procedure in the world performed with superior visualization, under the best ergonomic conditions for the clinician, in order to drive the best patient outcomes.

The company strives to achieve its vision through the products it brings to clinicians. Much of the inspiration behind Orascoptic's innovative products stems from its willingness to keep challenging the status quo.

Company representatives say that as long as health care professionals need superior visualization to deliver superior patient care, Orascoptic will be on the forefront of the technology that delivers such superior visualization

Orascoptic is aware of the specific needs of hygienists. It maintains a certified hygienist on its staff to support new product development and help developers understand the challenges that hygienists face throughout their careers.

Company representatives say they realize that dental professionals want to provide the best possible care for their patients, and the company's goal is to empower the dental team with quality crafted products to support that goal. The company also understand the repetitive stress and strain that a dental professional's body is subjected to on a daily basis.

Magnification — loupes

Orascoptic is the No. 1 loupe in dental hygiene, according to the company. It invites hygienists to experience the difference that high-quality optics can make for procedures.

Orascoptic's award-winning loupes set the industry standard for high definition loupes, according to the company. Known for quality craftsmanship, Orascoptic loupes deliver clear resolution over a deep and wide viewing field.

The repetitive stress and strain that your body is subjected to on a daily basis can take its toll — and Orascoptic loupes are designed to help you practice in comfort. Research has shown that the use of loupes has been associated with decreased back and neck pain, as well as reduced eye fatigue.

Each Orascoptic loupe is custom-manufactured for your unique working distance, angle of declination and facial geometry. You will be practicing in maximum comfort all day long with loupes built just for you.

The company is so sure that clients will love their Orascoptic loupes that it offer a 45-day money-back trial period. All Orascoptic telescopes are also backed by a lifetime warranty, giving purchasers peace of mind -— and helping to ensure that its clients will be enjoying their loupes throughout their careers. You are invited to choose the magnification that is right for you.

Orascoptic's award-winning HiRes 2 is recognized as the top-selling dental loupe in the U.S. and sets the standard for high-definition loupes, according to the company. The top-selling, award-winning 2.5x loupe boasts lightweight, high definition optics and a generous field size.

While many loupes for hygienists compromise resolution near the edges of their viewing field, the Dimension 3 set the standard for edge-to-edge resolution over a decade ago. The company describes the 2.5x-power loupe as being economically priced and “tried and true.”

Illumination — LED headlights

An Orascoptic LED headlight could be the perfect companion to your loupe system. The company's headlights are designed to make it easier to navigate your work area and see the critical details that can be missed with the naked eye. Your patients can expect a more thorough exam, and in turn, better oral health.

Dental LED headlights provide even, shadowless lighting across the oral cavity to enhance visualization, improve depth of field and reduce eye fatigue.

Orascoptic used the latest in advanced technology to create the award-winning Endeavour headlight, a high-resolution LED headlight system.

Endeavour is the company's lightest and smallest light system. It combines power, comfort, and increased illumination, delivering up to 4,000 foot-candles of white light, while being lightweight to ensure extra comfort. The device's low heat output ensures the safety of both practitioners and patients. It features a “gumdrop” miniature light that delivers a high-quality focused beam for better visibility, as well as advanced “Capacitive Touch” controls that enable easy adjustment.

XV1: World’s first and only wireless loupe and headlight in one

The XV1 is the world’s first and only wireless loupe and headlight in one, providing superior visualization through superior magnification and illumination, according to the company. This new innovation seamlessly combines Orascoptic’s award-winning loupes with its award-winning headlight, and enables dental professionals to deliver superior procedural outcomes with greater ease and less strain on their bodies.

The XV1 features a lightweight and completely cable-less design; and by removing the heavy and bulky belt packs of past headlights, the XV1 is ergonomically designed for comfort, function and style.

All electronics are completely contained within the custom-built frame itself, so there are no visible wires or cables.

Rechargeable batteries power the XV1 for a full day's work, delivering up to 4,000 foot-candles of light. XV1 features ”Capacitive Touch” controls on both temple arms to eliminate the need for knobs or buttons that can be bacteria traps. The lightweight counter-balance design enables clinicians to practice in comfort all day long, delivering superior patient care.
