Byte Review

Byte is an exceptional online service that ships its custom invisible braces right to your home. Byte offers rapid results, and with Byte you won't have to worry about taking any trips to the dentist, due to the fact that they have a team of licensed dentists and orthodontists that operate on a remote capacity. This allows them to offer you different invisible braces for a price that's often significantly less than traditional invisible ones offered by competitors. What's more, you'll be able to assess your impression kit from Byte on a no-risk basis, meaning that if you're not a viable candidate for Byte, you'll be refunded with no obligation to start a treatment plan.



THE BASICS




How long does it take for my Byte invisible braces to work?

The traditional treatment plan at Byte will take 3-6 months, and is oftentimes much faster than at-home invisible braces competitors.

Do I work directly with an orthodontist in person or online during my Byte treatment?

With Byte you are monitored remotely, and not by an in-person orthodontist. This provides you the added convenience of not having to visit an orthodontist’s office for your initial scan or for check-ups. Alternatively, you simply order your home impression kit to begin your treatment, and you’ll receive a digital treatment plan if you are determined to be a viable candidate.

Do I have to wear my Byte aligner all day? Is there a night only option?

Your invisible braces from Byte are specially designed only to be removed when you’re eating and drinking, and to be worn at least 22 hours a day. However, with Byte’s At-Night treatment you’re only required to wear your invisible braces 10 hours a night (obviously if you sleep 8-9 hours, that works too). You’ll also only need to wear each aligner set for one week before you switch to the next aligner set, which is the same schedule as the All-Day treatment.

Does Byte offer additional services like teeth whitening or retainers?

While Byte’s plans don’t include retainers, you will receive a teeth whitening kit through your Byte plan.



TREATMENT






Do I get to approve my Byte treatment? Can I see the final look?

Yes, after you receive your impressions along with other necessary information, Byte will send you a 3D visualization of your current smile, and then what it could look like after you receive your treatment with Byte's invisible braces.

What different issues do Byte invisible braces treat?

Byte's invisible braces are specially designed to efficiently treat minor to moderate alignment issues. This includes correcting spacing and crowding between teeth, as well as rotation. Byte’s invisible braces are able to effectively correct instances involving teeth crowding. Teeth crowding is when there isn’t enough space in your dental arches. Byte invisible braces can also provide minor bite correction, as well as being able to quickly close any mild to moderate gaps in your six front teeth. The at-home impressions that you provide will be used to confirm whether or not you’re an ideal candidate for Byte invisible braces.

How often do I change my aligners with the Byte treatment?

You will be responsible for changing out your Byte invisible braces every two weeks, in addition to having remote checkups to ensure that all is running as planned

What are the day to day considerations when wearing my Byte invisible braces?

With Byte's All-Day Aligners you'll need to make sure to wear these for 22+ hours daily. Additionally, due to the fact that these aligners stay on your teeth for almost 24 hours a day, the actual treatment timeline can end up being as quick as 4 months. Your Byte aligners should only be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.





PRICING




Are Byte invisible braces covered by insurance?

Byte is committed to making their invisible braces affordable, and you might end up being able to save even more money if your insurance plan covers teledentistry, or if you have a health savings account. Byte provides insurance experts to help you smoothly navigate the process of determining if your insurance pairs up with services offered by Byte. Plus, should you decide to try out Byte's Impression Kit, you should note that it's 100% refundable if you end up not being the right fit for Byte's invisible braces. If you don't see your insurance provider listed on Byte, you can easily submit your insurance information through Byte's free coverage check, and then Byte's insurance team will verify your orthodontic benefits to determine your invisible braces insurance coverage. Byte will send you an email that will clearly explain what specific kind of orthodontic coverage you have on your plan for your Byte treatment.

Does Byte offer financing?

Byte offers financing with BytePay which features 100% guaranteed approval with as little as a $249 down payment. Byte also has other payment options available that require no down payment through various partners like Affirm and CareCredit. Simply, work with your Byte Advisor to set up your payment plan when you reach the invisible braces checkout time.

Can I cancel my Byte treatment?

You can easily cancel your Byte subscription at any time by simply completing a support request, or by using the manage subscription features that can be accessed on your account settings.

Does Byte offer any discounts?

Byte makes sure to offer year-round discounts. For instance, if you're an active military member or a veteran, you can receive up to $150 off your invisible braces after you complete an impression kit, and then present your military ID to your Byte advisor. You can also receive a discount if you're a student or a first responder. Simply, email student@byteme.com or firstrespoders@byteme.com for more information. You can also stay up to date with holiday promos and other timely discounts by keeping up with Byte's social media activity.






CUSTOMER SERVICE




How do I get a replacement Byte aligner if I lose or break one?

You'll need to contact your Byte orthodontist. From there, your doctor can determine if you'll be able to move onto your next Byte aligner, or if you need to reorder the set that you lost or broke. Most orthodontists will advise that you hold onto your prior aligner trays.

What type of support does Byte offer? 

You can contact Byte's Support Team by submitting a support request through their "Contact Us" page, texting Byte at 310-272-5019, calling Byte at 866-765-2327, or messaging Byte through their Facebook page.

Is there a Byte app?

Yes, Byte offers an app for both iOS and Android. With your Byte app, you'll be able to access up-to-date info that keeps you informed on your personal treatment plan.

Are there any guarantees for my Byte treatment?

You can rest assured that Byte is committed to guaranteeing you have your desired smile to last your lifetime. This means that should your teeth move out of alignment following the completion of your first treatment, you'll receive additional impression kits, new treatment plan options, and aligners that will help correct any of your misalignment issues at no extra cost to you.
