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.

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.

The byte experience has been a great one overall! It took longer then originally planned to get my top teeth straight based on the first assessment with my first set of molds turned in BUT they are definitely getting straighter and I’m looking forward to the end result. I’m about half way through and can tell such a dramatic difference so far and so grateful I found byte! The customer service from beginning to end has been really great and no complaints or concerns they have not been able to handle quickly!

I've been using Byte at night for about 8 weeks now and the difference is amazing. Really working great and super easy to only have to have them in at night. Looking forward to my new smile!

Byte is amazing and crushes smile direct club. Bytes aligners are made more accurately, better material, great service, and have a HyperByte that changes the game. Avoid Smile Direct Club all together and just go to Byte. Save yourself the hassle and go with Byte. Trying SDC first I ended up with a products that didn't fit, products that cut my finger, gums, tongue, and even received the wrong material. Then I ran into Byte, I had a direct contact from the beginning to end for any questions or help. TRULY AMAZING, I would go city to city, person to person, door to door, talking about byte because you couldn't ask for a better experience.

Highly informative and highly friendly support staff! They are quick to respond, personable and full of useful tips. Can definitely recommend based on this aspect for now as I’ve only just begun my Byte journey. This care makes the treatment feel less ominous for sure!

Unorganized. Just received my second set of aligners that I was told I was not going to receive because they needed new impressions done. Asked about them and was told oh yea I guess that order went through. This second set came in a flimsy box with no explanation as to why I have more aligners than originally planned. This on top of my original aligners being mailed to the wrong address.
