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.

Overall my experience has been as expected. Given that their team is pretty busy I've generally received delayed responses and have had to follow up with their customer support. I also haven't had the easiest experience with the retainers in that the timeline has been generally off where I'm wearing my retainers for multiple weeks before changing due to fit.

I did my research on all the major teeth straightening companies (i.e. Smile Direct Club, Byte, Candid, and Invisalign) and I decided to go with Byte based on price, reviews, treatment length, credentials, and lifetime smile guarantee. I'm on week 13 of 21 and I am overall happy with my experience thus far. Customer service has been great. I found it best to call when I need support because email takes a while for them to respond and I can never get connected to anyone via the online chat. The aligners are comfortable and well-made. I only had some mild pain during my first week, but nothing more since. My only complaint with Byte is that the aligners case they provide is really hard to... Read More

I have been using Byte nighttime aligners for about 10 weeks now. My treatment is supposed to take 17 weeks for the top, and 24 for the bottom. So far, I’m thrilled with the results! Since I have the nighttime aligners, I am free to eat, drink, chew gum, etc throughout the day. Then I just pop my aligners in at night, use my HyperByte for 10 minutes, and go to bed. Sometimes the HyperByte can be painful, and sometimes the aligners can be a bit inconvenient if I want to go out at night, but these minor inconveniences are so worth it! Byte customer service is incredible, and I’m thrilled with the results I’m seeing.

I used to use SmileDirectClub and the retainers were uncomfortable and cheap feeling. They also charged me a lot for my retainers at the end. Byte's whitening foam is a genius and painless way to whiten my teeth while cleaning my retainers. The comfy retainers feel great and the service is even better! Would recommend Byte over SmileDirectClub.
