Eligibility

Byte is designed for those with minor to moderate alignment issues. So, this means that if you have a mild to moderate crowding, rotation, or spacing issues, or need a minor bite correction, it could be for you. More significant malocclusions aren’t suitable for treatment with byte.

Getting Started

To get started you’ll send impressions of your teeth using their impression kit. Byte’s orthodontists review your impressions, create a treatment plan, and a fully interactive 3D model. They will refund you if you are not a candidate.Byte doesn’t not have any physical locations.

Treatment

You have the option of choosing 22-hour per day or 10-hour per night aligners, which is a freedom only a few brands offer. The at-night aligners are more expensive and take longer to work. In addition to your aligners, you will receive the HyperByte, a small vibrating tool that helps to soften the gums and makes it easier for your teeth to be realigned.
