BYTE ™ Invisible Aligners: Brutally Honest Byte Review

BYTE ™ Review: Is it a good option?

In this Byte aligners review, we are going to explain in detail whether or not a Byte brand is a good option for you.

We pretty much tried all the companies out there at this point so we know exactly which ones are the best.

Byte is a new company that claims it can fix your teeth in a shorter amount of treatment time than some other companies out there such as:

• NewSmile
• Smile direct club
• Alignerco (New company that costs only $1150)!
• Straight My Teeth (The cheapest company in Europe at $799 Euros)

The reason they claim they can straighten your teeth faster is that they are using a device called Hyperbyte that uses high-frequency vibration.

Unfortunately, we have two people on our team that are on the Byte treatment plan right now, and it seems like the process isn’t faster than with the other companies at all.

Their treatment will take 8-9 months in total, which is average with the other companies also.

From our experience, all the companies out there are pretty much using the same technology and the main difference between them is the price and the customer service.

Other than Invisalign, Smile Direct Club is the most trusted brand in this market, and NewSmile is a newer company with a ridiculously low price (they also have the best customer service team).

AlignerCo is the cheapest company on the market right now, at only $1150. If you happen to live in Europe, Straight My Teeth is the best option at only $799 Euros.

What Byte aligners did super well is their marketing. They have by far the best website and the best marketing. They even partnered with Dr. Jon Marashi, a famous Hollywood cosmetic dentist…

Unfortunately, if we had to advise someone on which of these aligners companies to go with, we would still advise them to go with AlignerCo or Straight My Teeth. 

This is why we are doing this Byte review; so that you can make the best choice possible.

Top reasons why we enjoy Byte™ – Byte review

#1 Their aligners are quite transparent

Let’s be honest, the reason you want to go with invisible aligners instead of metal braces is that THEY ARE INVISIBLE, so it makes sense to talk about this.

The good news is Byte‘s aligners are quite transparent and nobody will notice you are wearing them. All the companies are using the same technology and they all have super aligners though.

#2 Hyperbyte

They are using a technology that uses high-intensity frequency vibrations in order to make your treatment shorter. It is supposedly helping with the discomfort during the treatment plan also.

Unfortunately, we did not see any difference in the treatment length if we compare it with the other companies out there.

It seems like they are all using the same technology. The Hyperbyte devise is quite fun to use though ad it does help with the pain during the process.

#3 FREE retainers

Byte does not charge for the retainers you will have to wear at night in order to keep your teeth straight!

It is recommended to order a new pair of retainers every six months or so, and Byte is giving you the first pair completely free of charge.

This is a good thing because some companies are charging about $100 for this.

#4 Comes with a premium whitening kit & an aligner case.

Since you’ll be wearing your aligners all day, you might as well be whitening your teeth at the same time.

They will send you a complimentary BrightByte bottle, their 3-in-1 teeth whitener, breath freshener and aligner cleaner.

This offer could be appealing to some people if they don’t care too much about the price.

#5 Lifetime guarantee

The brand offers you a “smile forever ” byte for life guarantee which means that if for some reasons at any time after going through your treatment process, your teeth move and become out of alignment, they will give you another set of aligners at no additional cost after a first set.

Duration

They claim to shorten the duration of the treatment plan by half because of their special technology.

Byte review: Overall Experience

You will be amazed and shocked by how fast you will start your treatment. You can expect to receive your byte impression kit a maximum of one week after you pay on their website.

You can then expect to receive your aligners about two weeks after you return your kit.

Everything will go quite fast, which is good. At first, you will find these aligners to be super uncomfortable but you will get used to them with treatment time. After a few days, you won’t even notice them anymore.

Each time you will put on a new set of aligners you can expect to feel some minor pain in the first few days. It means your teeth are moving so this is good.

3 Easy Steps!

Step 1: Order your impression kit.

The first step is to make your payment on their website for the impression kit. Byte™ currently charges $95 for it.

You will make a mold of your teeth with it and then return it to them so that their orthodontist can make a treatment plan for you.

The impression kit step consists of you making a few molds of your teeth and sending everything back to them.

It takes about 20 minutes a day to do and the instructions they provide you with are super simple to follow.

You can expect to receive your kit within one week after you purchased it on their website!

Step 2: Look at the preview they will send you of the final result.

You surely will get excited at this point because you will be able to see EXACTLY how everything is going to look like at the end of your treatment.

This is one of the HUGE advantages these clear aligners have over metal braces.

It is quite motivating and exciting to see what your teeth will look like at every stage of the process.

Here is an example of what you will receive:

At this point you can either accept or refuse the treatment plan they offer you.

Also, there is a small possibility that you won’t quality if you have a severe case that absolutely need a local orthodontist. If this is the case, they will simply refund you.

The only company that refunds you if you don’t qualify but ALSO IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE RESULT is NewSmile (and AlignerCo).

Unfortunately, NewSmile is not available everywhere. But if they are available where you live, you should absolutely go with them as they are in our opinion the best option.

Step 3: Get your Byte invisible aligners and start wearing them.

At this point, you will receive your aligners and you can start wearing them! Caution: YOU WILL feel pain in the first few days each time you have a new set of aligners.

THIS IS NORMAL, it means your teeth are getting straighter! No pain no gain!

Also, you will probably be self-conscious at first because you will think EVERYBODY can notice them.

This is all in your head and you will soon notice that nobody will be aware you are wearing them.

Before & After

Byte Reviews

Conclusion

If you are hesitating between Byte or Invisalign or metal, traditional braces, then we would HIGHLY recommend you to go with Byte.

We hope this Byte review explained what option is the best for you.

However, if you want to go with a cheaper option, we would highly recommend you to go with

• AlignerCo if you are in America
• Straight My Teeth if you are in Europe. 

Because they are the cheapest by far and they also have the best customer support and service out there.

Again, all these companies are pretty much using the exact same technology and the only difference, in the end, is their marketing, the price and their customer service.

Make sure to wear your aligners all day, unless you are eating or drinking anything besides water.

We hope this Byte review was helpful to you and make sure to read our other reviews on our website!
