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 love this aligner system! I have straighter, whiter teeth with no visit to the dentist. I got my whole treatment at one time which makes the weekly transition so smooth.

I've recently started my program and had a question about using it, contacted the company via email and got a phone within less than 24 hours from a very personable rep who was just so REAL and kind and helpful. Gave me a good feeling about the company and that they have my back when in need! Looking forward to seeing my results. :D

If I could leave no stars I would. Absolute crooks. It is sad they provide a “guarantee” and do nothing to make you satisfied. They take no accountability of their aligner treatment plan not working, and are willing to let you go on your merry way without actually straightening your teeth. They told me I’d have to pay an additional $899 on top of the $2400 I paid to fix ONLY my bottom teeth that haven’t moved even a tiny bit. Please, please do yourself a favor, save the money you will waste here and go to a real orthodontist who actually cares about your smile, confidence and the money you pour into it.

My only regret is not doing this sooner. Process was smooth and customer service was excellent. The process took a bit longer than I anticipated, but the byte team worked with me to get back on track. Overall, I am very happy with the investment and the results.

I'm about 2 weeks into my treatment, and my experience so far with Byte has been very positive. They do a great job answering questions upfront, and it's easy to follow the instructions for molding the aligners and using them once they arrive. Customer support is also very responsive. I looked at a few different options for aligners and liked that Byte was an at-home option and that I could choose nighttime only for my treatment, as my job would make it difficult to wear aligners all day.

I am currently in the middle of the byte treatment and overall am satisfied with this company. The whole process of doing the impressions and putting on the aligners was very well explained. The Hyperbyte did kind of help with the discomfort of having the aligners in your mouth which was nice. Aligners came packaged well. And so far treatment has been going pretty well. I do wish there was more availability to schedule a follow up with a clinician. It seems like every time I check the next available date is a month later from now which kind of sucks. Customer service via email is great though, but I do wish the specialists would reply back within one day. But again, overall, I am happy... Read More
