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 ultimately decided on byte instead of other aligner solutions because of the length of the treatment plan. No one wants to wear them, but the byte + hyperbyte system made my time wearing the aligners quick and painless.

My teeth have improved greatly since beginning byte. However, at the end of my 9 weeks there are still some minor adjustments that need to be made. Byte seems to be working well with me to complete the process. The process was simple enough but I do feel like there could have been better instructions when the aligners were sent out to me.
