VALO ProxiCure Ball vs Interproximal Lens: Which to Choose

Quick answer

Choose the VALO ProxiCure Ball Lens for thorough curing in proximal areas with a rounded design, or the VALO Interproximal Lens for precision access in tight interproximal spaces.

Trade-offs at a glance

• Coverage vs. access: The ProxiCure Ball Lens offers broader proximal coverage, while the Interproximal Lens excels in tight interproximal spaces.
• Ease of use: Both lenses attach directly to VALO curing lights. The ball lens is more forgiving for general proximal work; the interproximal lens requires more precise positioning.
• Cost difference: The ProxiCure Ball Lens is priced at USD 188.10, and the Interproximal Lens at USD 171.00 (both compared to USD 285.00). The interproximal option is slightly more affordable. Consider your most common procedure type before choosing based on price alone.
