I'd like to leave a positive review. I started with Smilelove back in Jan 2020 and now my teeth a perfectly straight. When I needed to communicate with them they were very responsive. I'm not sure how things are with them nowadays but back then they were a great company with great customer support and their treatment has worked great for me.

Finished the monthly payment plan in summer 2019. Sent impressions back two different times. Emailed company many times with no response. So I paid for aligners that I never received. I hope it isn't true that they are still accepting new patients while they ignore patients who paid in full. Would give zero stars if I could.

Byte is amazing! I have seen a great improvement in my teeth and smile within only weeks of treatment. The staff are incredible and provide a lot of help and fast response. I am happy with my progress so far!

I can't wear them because there is so much excess that it cuts my mouth all up. I bought an electric nail file to take the excess off, because it aggravated my arthritis too much, filing week1 down so much, but still had too much excess. I have not had the chance to use the electric file, and am frankly annoyed that I paid so much and have to make such adjustments. Customer service told me to use the tiny file provided with kit when I explained this problem. Obviously, that was no help at all.

The Final Word
Both companies work hard to help customers get their perfect smile — although byte boasts a much faster treatment time. Thanks to the byte’s HyperByte technology, customers often experience a reduction in discomfort, better aligner traction, more accurate teeth movement, and an average treatment time of three months.
Smilelove’s average treatment time is six months.
Getting a treatment plan with byte is a reasonably straightforward process. You’ll order an impression kit ($95) and mail your impressions back to byte. Your case will then be reviewed by an orthodontist who will determine whether or not byte is right for you. If you are a good candidate, you can pay the $1,895 upfront or do a monthly payment plan. A few weeks later you’ll receive your aligners.
Now, Smilelove’s treatment process is relatively similar to byte’s. Except Smilelove gives you two options. If you choose their Fast-Track Bundle, you’ll pay $1,895 upfront; this includes the price of the impression kit, aligners, retainers, and whitening products. If you decide to go with the Kit-First plan, you’ll pay for the impression kit ($79) and send it back to Smilelove. If you choose to move forward with the straightening process, you’ll then have to pay $1,895 for your aligners to be produced and sent to your home.
In addition to their HyperByte technology, byte guarantees your smile for life. Meaning that if your teeth move or shift after going through a byte treatment, the company will cover the cost to straighten them. While Smilelove doesn’t offer a guarantee of that caliber, the company does state they will work with customers who are unhappy with their results.
Both companies appear to reputable and reliable. However, we recommend reading our verified customer reviews to find out which company is going to best suit your unique needs.
