Our Overall Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Excellent)

Byte launched its teledentistry platform in 2018 and has since enjoyed remarkable growth in the invisible aligner market. The company's low-cost, convenient at-home offering, and doctor-directed treatment make Byte an attractive option for patients who need mild to moderate orthodontic alignment.


 To get started, patients order an at-home impression kit or schedule a free in-office scan with a Byte-affiliated dentist. If your teeth qualify, you'll see a 3D model of your future smile before purchasing your aligners.


 Whether you start at home or with an in-office scan, your impressions will be reviewed to determine if you are a good fit for Byte invisible aligners. But don’t worry! If your teeth do not qualify for treatment, Byte will refund your money⎯no questions asked.

Byte Product Specs

Aligner Specifications - 5 / 5

Byte offers patients 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 straighter alignment. To qualify for treatment, consumers complete an impression mold of their teeth at home or schedule an in-office scan with a Byte affiliated dentist. If the patient's teeth qualify for treatment, these digital scans are used to generate a custom treatment plan. Customers can see a 3D model of what their smile could look like after 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 set of retainers is provided to retain the alignment (recommended 6-month wear time)

The entire process was great. The first person I spoke to when inquiring about Byte was very helpful and made me feel comfortable about going with their brand of aligners. The impression kit was quickly delivered to me. I thought I would not get my actual aligners for another month, but I also received them fast! I started to notice a difference in my teeth around week 6. Customer service has also been great and I couldn't be happier! I would definitely recommend to anyone who has been on the fence about getting aligners for straighter teeth.

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
