Dental loupes are available in various designs, types, and styles but the two most common types are the flip-up loupes and the through the lens loupes. Though they share the same purpose and use flip-up loupes and through the lens or TTL loupes differ from each other in many ways. Among their major differences are in terms of optical barrels positioning, price, customization, and weight. One of the innovative products of high technology is the dental loupe. It is a magnification optical aid that magnifies the dental professional's view by magnification the images seen through its optical barrels or lenses.

You can also adjust it anytime according to your preferred angle of declination. However, this feature may not be always available to all brands and designs of flip-up loupes. On the other end, the optical barrels of the through the lens loupes are directly drilled into the carrier lens of the dental loupes. Unlike the flip-up loupes, there is no way you can adjust the angle of declination of the TTL loupes. You can't also flip away the barrels when not in use just the way flip-up loupes do. If you no longer need to use magnification for a certain task, you need to completely take out the entire loupe from your head.
