Byte Review: Better than Invisalign and Smile Direct?

Last updated on

Table of Contents

Service Overview

What is Byte?

Byte is a company that creates custom teeth straightening plans, makes the clear teeth aligning trays that are used to straighten the teeth, and delivers them to customers by mail. Their teeth aligners are made of BPA-free plastic and treatment plans are created by licensed orthodontists.

Byte hit the market in Fall 2018. While they are among the newest companies to offer this kind of service, there are key things that make them a compelling option, most notably their customer-first approach, focus on creating a smile just for you and your facial features, use of additional technologies to make treatment go faster, and partnership with orthodontists with advanced training instead of general dentists.
