Byte Aligners for Teeth Crowding: Real Customer Results

Overall I’m satisfied with Byte, but there are certainly some things people need to know to temper their expectations. I’ve been in the treatment plan for around 2 years now. I got the Byte at night system that says you only have to wear them at night (10 hrs min per day). I’ve had to get about 3 new sets of aligners as I finished my treatment plan and still had misaligned teeth. There is certainly a ton of progress but it has been a slow process. I would recommend getting the normal aligners instead of the at night system. They are cheaper and I’ve found that I need to wear the aligners most of the day anyways to get good progress. Customer service from Byte was great at the beginning but its not amazing anymore. They are slow to respond now, I think partly due to how quickly the company has grown. Again, overall I’m satisfied, but still not 100% complete after about 2 years.

I wanted to get aligners because I have been unhappy with the appearance of my smile. I chose Byte because of the positive reviews I read online prior to my commitment. So far, I have been happy with the progress. The difference they have made thus far is visible. My smile has widened and it is clear the crowding is subsiding. Byte has been very responsive to inquiries and has met my expectations. I was surprised to see they offered the night time treatment option. It suites my lifestyle much better to only wear my Aligners overnight for 10+ consecutive hours rather than throughout my day. Discomfort has been minimal. I would recommend Byte to others.

If I could do it again, I wouldn’t choose this route. My treatment was supposed to take 5 months, but took much longer due to needing refinements. I had to redo impressions 2 or 3 times and wait for weeks for new aligners to arrive each time. This meant it ended up taking around 10 months. They only provide one bottle of foam cleaner and when you need more, it is $30 a bottle, which I think is a bit steep. Otherwise, it was pretty cost effective and the result was satisfactory. However, I think it would’ve been worth the extra money to get Invisalign with an orthodontist.

I started clear aligners because I had some movement in my teeth after pregnancy. I had braces in high school and stopped wearing my retainers a year or so after completing treatment.

I chose Byte because they were one of the more affordable options and they also offered the shortest treatment times.

I had mild overcrowding and misalignment especially in the lower teeth. I was originally prescribed three months of aligners however my teeth were not perfectly straight after the first three months. I submitted a request to Byte and they sent me a new impression kit. I was issued three more months of retainers shortly after and was happy with my results once I completed the second set of aligners.

I decided to go with Byte after researching all the other at-home clear aligners. Since my crowding issue was minor, I was hoping to save by doing Byte instead of Invisalign, which was twice the cost.

The beginning of my treatment went well. About 2 months in, I was having tracking issues (teeth were not moving as expected). I reached out to Byte and after 2 weeks of back and forth emails, I was told to start over. I was somewhat disappointed in how long communication took. I would sometimes wait 3 days for a ‘generic’ email response, telling me to contact another department.

I restarted treatment, and 2 months later still had tracking issues. After another 2 weeks of back and forth emails, Byte finally sent me refinements (another set of aligners after another impression kit submission). The whole process took over a month.

In my refinements, I had a strange issue after 2 months. My next set of aligners didn’t fit at all. It was almost physically impossible to put in. I emailed Byte again, and was told to shove them in and leave it overnight, despite the pain and discomfort. Another Byte representative had told me earlier that aligners should click into place, and not cause significant pain. I was convinced something went wrong during manufacturing the aligners, because unlike all my other ones, this next set DID NOT FIT AT ALL.

I tried following all their instructions, it left me with intense pain and discomfort, bleeding gums, and eventually chipped and broke one of my teeth. No matter how much I contacted Byte, they didn’t seem to want to send me a new impression kit for another set of aligners. I kept getting responses from different Byte representatives, each giving me conflicting advise (and taking several days in the process). I was somewhat traumatized by the experience, and ended treatment after that. I had my dentist fix my tooth and have been wary of going back to clear aligners.

TL;DR – fork over the extra money for Invisalign, or another company where you will have regular dentist supervision. Even if your dental issues are small, at home treatment can go very wrong.

I have always wanted straight teeth. To give myself more confidence. To love to smile and not to try to hide that smile. I chose Byte because it has great customer reviews amd a life time guarantee on their products! So far, customer service has been amazing and my teeth have moved soo much! I’m loving my smile and my confidence level and soared! I get compliments all the time on how white my teeth are amd how straight they are becoming! It takes patience as with everything worth doing. It is through the mail and it can take extra time to get the products to you. Shipping is very fast and I have had no problems getting refinements and whitening foam. They work with you to achieve the perfect smile for you! I love also that Byte is so affordable and also offers payment plans and accepts insurance. I would highly recommend Byte to anyone looking to get the smile of their dreams! My dentist even recommends Byte to their clients as well.

I purchased the byte aligners because of cost and they offered free retainers for life. I thought I his was great since I would need them. I explained to them what my in person dentist told me and explained my goals for my teeth so I could be confident. They assured me that the aligners would work for my smile as nothing was extremes. Just a little crowding on the bottom front and unevenness on the top. They also said that based on my insurance I would only have to pay half.

In the end they gave me the insurance paper claim really late with the wrong date so my insurance denied the claim so I had to pay in full. Also after a year and a half of treatment my lower teeth were slightly better but my upper teeth only seemed worse based on the aligners. I had nonstop problems with their aligners not aligning with my teeth properly. One time they even sent the wrong aligners. After countless attempts to try to resolve the problem with their aligners not being made right for my teeth I asked them politely to either truly fix the problem, tell me the truth that they cannot help me and/or give me my money back! ($1800). They did not respond to any of my requests and only asked for my dentist to send them a letter about my recent cleaning and filings done in the back of my mouth that is NOT affected by the aligners. I was so upset I cut my losses and walked away before they screwed up my teeth. Last thing I will mention is that during my year and a half treatment, I always had to be the one to reach out to them regarding concerns. Then never asked how my treatment was going or if I had concerns. They just wanted my money. Would NEVER recommend them.

My 2 bottom teeth were crowded in and it was very noticeable when I smiled. I wanted to laugh hard and not be ashamed of my teeth crowding inwards, which made it looks crooked. I found Byte which was cheaper than other aligner brands and they had a shorter number of months for treatment reported on their website. The hyperbyte technology was awesome but my treatment took a lot longer than expected. So, they recommend I use hyperbyte more often daily for a faster process, which helped. Overall, I am happy about the results. However, it is important to not throw away from your slingers, otherwise if you lose one of them, they don’t cover and you have to pay more. So just be cautious of that, but they are a reliable company with helpful customer support!
