Apollo · From $1,695 USD
For many residents, students and hygienists, the problem with good loupes is not the price, it is paying it all at once. That is often why people wait, borrow a pair or buy the cheapest one they can find.
Splitting the cost into monthly payments removes that wait. The chart below shows what each model works out to per month, and how to see your real plan before you commit.
Each model’s lowest price split evenly over 12 months, as if at 0% APR. Your real plan may differ. Tap a model to jump to it.
