Overall Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Excellent)

Byte launched its teledentistry platform in 2019 and has since enjoyed remarkable growth in the invisible aligner market. The company's low-cost, guaranteed impression kit, staff of licensed dentists and orthodontists, as well the free product enhancements it offers, make Byte an attractive option for patients who need mild to moderate orthodontic correction.

To get started, patients complete an at-home impression kit and provide photographs to be evaluated through a personalized patient portal. Once treatment is approved by a dental professional, they will receive a set of aligners. byte uses a technology called Smile Science, created by a Hollywood dentist, to help determine each patient's course of alignment treatment.

Byte treatment also relies on the company's proprietary HyperByte device, which uses high frequency vibration, which may help to reduce treatment time (when used 5 mins a day with aligners) and ease the discomfort patients sometimes experience when using aligners.

Byte Product Specs

Aligner Specifications - 5 / 5

byte lets consumers who need minor to moderate alignment enjoy a better smile at a reasonable cost, without having to visit the orthodontist frequently.

Byte's aligners are made of BPA-free plastic that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. To qualify for treatment, consumers purchase an impression kit and take photos of their teeth and return them to Byte. These submissions are evaluated by Byte's team of dentists and orthodontist to determine whether customers are good candidates for Byte's course of treatment. Once approved, patients then purchase a full treatment package, composed of multiple aligners they will change every week. At the end of the treatment, a free retainer is provided to retain the alignment.

Byte Pricing

Pricing - 5 / 5

Byte is an attractive alternative to other mail-order aligner services, because of the company's guaranteed low-cost impression kit, free retainer service, and its financing program, which requires a low down payment of $249. Monthly payments are affordable at $82/per month over a term of 32 months. Byte financing is available to all patients, regardless of credit history, and includes the Byte Protection Program, a service that provides free retainers for 5 years post-treatment. Regardless of whether you finance your treatment, once it's complete, Byte will provide a free retainer to help you maintain your new smile.

Byte's impression kit also comes with a 100% money-back guarantee: If you don't qualify for Byte aligners, the company will refund the cost of your impression kit. That makes trying Byte a risk-free proposition.

Byte replacement aligners are not free, but they only cost $29 for the first aligner, then $99 for every following aligner. A free whitening kit and the company's exclusive HyperByte device is included with each treatment plan.

I'm currently on week 4 of the Byte system. Here are my pros and cons so far! Pros - I chose Byte over some of the other systems because I like knowing my treatment plan is supervised by actual Orthodontists. The price was competitive as well. - The system is very easy to use (as long as you're disciplined and stick to the instructions). - I've had very little discomfort so far, much less than traditional braces. This might be because of the hyperbyte technology? - I was impressed that I was seeing results already by week 2. - The trays really are invisible. Even when I point them out to people, they still can't tell. No changes to my speech either because they're just so thin.... Read More

I love the Byte program. I am on week 7 and can see the change in my teeth; and I have never had to leave my house to see the dentist. I would highly recommend this company!!! The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Overall, the experience with Byte has been amazing. The customer service has been fast and helpful. The product itself was cheaper than anything else that I looked into (both traditional and invisible braces). I'm very happy with my decision to use Byte!

I’m 11 weeks into a 17 week process straightening my teeth with Byte. The first few days I had difficulty prying the retainers off my teeth when I needed to eat. There is a tool and advice provided which helped. After a few days I got used to the process and my teeth started conforming to the new shape. It’s been smooth sailing since then. I change my retainers every week. I use the Hyperbyte at least 5mins daily, which is a painless vibrating device that helps your teeth shift. During the pandemic I wear a mask in public so no one outside my family even knows I’m using retainers. I often forget I’m wearing them because they are so comfortable.

I noticed a difference within 4 weeks of using byte. My teeth started to shift and I can’t be more happy! The brightbyte is also amazing. Not only does it clean your aligners, it brighten your teeth and freshens your breath!! I would definitely recommend!!!

There has been a lot of contact with me since the beginning to make sure everything is going ok and they were very helpful when I needed to get my aligners refined because they weren't fitting correctly. I'm excited to see how my smile will turn out!

Shipping was fast, the kit was easy to use, and the customer service people are awesome and super helpful answering any questions I have. I haven't gotten my aligners yet, so I can't wait to see how they work. So far, impressed!
