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.

Byte has given me a beautiful smile. I had a lot of spacing in between my teeth and now with only 4 weeks left, little to no spacing! I had people from the team check in with me periodically to see how my treatment was going which was great. I am finally comfortable and confident smiling with my teeth!

I ordered from Byte mainly because they had the shortest treatment plan. Unfortunately, once I received my last three aligners they didn't fit. I informed Byte and it took them two weeks (after multiple emails from me following up) for them to realize that of course they are going to have to take new impressions to see where my teeth were at. Two weeks ago I sent back the impressions and I had to email one day ago to see if they were even received. I had a response email today stating they did get them, and that they were being reviewed and it will be another 3-4 weeks before I get the new aligners. Also, I have no idea how much longer the treatment is going to be. I was supposed to... Read More

Hi Lindsey, Thank you for your feedback! We take your concerns, treatment and safety very seriously. When we move forward with our byte for life guarantee, it can take some time for our orthodontic team to complete a full review to provide you with the next best steps possible. As your aligners are a custom made medical grade product, they can take time to be made, quality checked, and shipped. Per patient privacy laws we're unable to share more on your treatment plan, but if you reach out to our support team we are able to provide you with additional updates on your plan and next steps. Our care team is always there to help and provide you with as much information as possible. Please reach out to us directly so that we may provide you with this information- we're happy to help.

Before finding byte, I totally didn’t know such an affordable aligner company exists. I’ve always thought of getting my teeth done but the cost was too high for me. With byte, it totally isn’t the case! I’m only a few weeks in the treatment and can already see the progress that my teeth have made! I also really love their customer service- they’re really friendly, helpful and responsive. If you’re looking to get your teeth done, I highly recommend byte!

Still early, only two weeks into my treatment plan. Feeling great about it. The treatment viewer, showing my weekly teeth alignments, helps me see what my teeth are feeling - progress! Great customer service, very helpful. The HyperByte vibrator does relieve any tightness your teeth go through and the treatment plan is evidence it helps complete treatment in a shorter time than the competitors.

Not having a good experience with my aligners. I am on week 9 of 12 and have not seen any change whatsoever. I do have pain when I start a new set which lasts most of the week and then towards the last couple days it is gone. I emailed my concerns and hoping to get some sort of solution considering the huge amount of money spent to correct my teeth. The only good thing I could say so far is their customer service is good at keeping in touch with you to make sure you are doing okay.
