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 just beginning my byte journey. So far the customer service has been crazy good. They have an option to choose contacting them via text which is extremely convenient! Even when talking to a new adviser they take the time to read and review your profile so there’s no having to repeat yourself! All my questions have been answered for me almost immediately. The advisers I’ve been in contact with have been so knowledgeable and friendly! Everything has been super easy from the step by step walk through on how to do the impressions to setting up my payment plan.

Byte is one of the most amazing companies I’ve ever dealt with. The process of ordering, making the molds, and then ordering my aligners- it has been simple and ENJOYABLE! I have my own personal Byte advisor who is able to answer my questions within minutes. I am beyond impressed and pleased with the entire process!

I've been searching everywhere for affordable aligners and the reviews for Smile Direct Club were not good, when I heard about Byte, I was still skeptical, but the customer service is crazy good and they are always on top of their game. They answered every question I had and if they didn't know the answer, they were honest but informed me that they would find the answer for me in less than twenty four hours. My byte advisor, Dan, was so helpful in everything in regards of insurance and making sure I was doing everything correctly. The impressions kit was so easy to do because the instructions were so thorough. I can't wait to see the end results of this!

This company is far cheaper and better than invisalign and smile club. Byte has exceptional customer service and affordability far beyond the competitors. They excite you to feel great about your insecurities but let you know it's okay to change for your self confidence. Plus they are so much quicker...my plan is 5 months. It's like magic coming from me.

This was a very easy process to get started, and very affordable. A customer service person has been available each step of the way if needed. I was able to see results after a couple of weeks of wearing the retainers.

Overall, this has been a good experience. Seven weeks into treatment so far, and have adjusted to the aligners. Good patient support once aligners were delivered. Aligners fit comfortably and are moving the teeth as expected. Excited to see the end result. Preferable to high cost and frequent office visits required with traditional treatment route: less hassle and expense.
