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 was sceptic at first, but after my 5th or 6th week I began to see improvement in my teeth. So far I am satisfied with my treatment plan.

I was initially pleased with the customer service. I think it was better pre-treatment, but not bad.

Do not waste your money. This is not for everyone. Maybe a young child but not an adult. The aligners separated my front teeth and left a slight gap between my front 2 teeth and the side teeth. It's not good. They don't respond and when they finally do they claim that they're reviewing the issue. I sent a message through facebook and again they state that they'll look into it. They don't. They just ignore and give lip service. Worst customer service. Horrible treatment. Also, there is no refund. They hope I will just go away.

Byte customer service is super responsive when they are working to get you to commit to purchase but the ABSOLUTE WORST after you paid over $1000 for the treatment plan. I was literally told they were so busy with new customers that there would be a 3-6 week delay in helping me. Wait what??? I’ve already given you my money and now you’re too busy for me. There is absolutely NO PROACTIVE follow-up during treatment which is simply bad business for a product like this. True customer service means being PROACTIVE and Byte functions from a reactive place. My teeth had minimal issues and a 15 weeks plan is now going on 25 weeks because their customer service is non-responsive or SUPER slow... Read More

Byte is a classic example of you get what you pay for. I decided to go with Byte to straighten my teeth because they had (1) the lowest prices of any competitor, (2) a reputation for exceptional customer service, and (3) the quickest treatment times I could find anywhere. (1) While they did in fact have the lowest prices compared to the treatments I shopped around for, my experience with customer service and treatment times has been disappointing and does not meet my expectations. (2) Each time I have an issue, a new customer service rep responses to an email or calls me back, giving the feeling of little to no consistency in my case. Additionally, customer service has taken over 48 hours... Read More

Hi, while the 7-day wear time works for most of our customers, there are times when a longer wear time is necessary. It is our goal to get you to your dream smile, but we understand how frustrating it can be to have an extension of treatment. We hope we can provide some clarification on our processes for you. As stated in your silver instructional booklet, it is vital to hold onto your aligners and not throw any away, as sometimes it is necessary to backtrack. Your dental health and safety is number one to us, so while we may ask you to backtrack or wear a set longer than 7 days, we want to get you to those projected results in the safest way possible. We would be happy to chat more about this and address any questions or concerns you may have. You can reach us at 877-298-3669 during normal business hours MST Monday-Sunday and our team would be happy to assist! If none of our representatives are available, please select the callback option so the next available representative can give you a callback. We want to get you answers as soon as possible so any member of our support team is ready to hop in to help. We are committed to getting you a final smile that you love and want to continue to improve your experience moving forward.
