In my opinion, a smile is worth a thousand words. It’s clearly the most important part of your face and gives off your vibe to everyone who comes into contact with you.
It can also have a direct impact on your confidence, self-esteem, and approachability. Having confidence that you have a perfect smile is everything!
Even the slightest teeth misalignment can make you feel not so confident, and it’s ok to want to fix that. Adjusting and tweaking your teeth for a perfect smile is something that most people may think is unaffordable, but it’s now become much easier with at-home teeth alignment kits like Byte.
Byte teeth aligners were so gracious to provide me with a complimentary teeth aligner kit and I can’t wait to get started! I’m here to share my journey from start to finish so you can see what the process is like and if it’s a good fit for you.
If you’re interested in trying out Byte, you can get a huge discount on the impression kit risk-free, which is $14.95.
My story
My teeth were so very misaligned when I was a kid. I was very fortunate that my parents could afford braces and I wore them for 13 months.
When it came time to get the metal off my teeth, I was ecstatic! I finally had beautiful teeth, but when I was instructed to wear a retainer everyday, I didn’t exactly follow the protocol.
Does any 13 year old want to wear a retainer once they finally got their braces off after a year?
My parents weren’t strict in telling me the consequences of my teeth shifting back, so I pretty much didn’t care about wearing it. You know how this story ends: my teeth ended up shifting back- not to an extreme, but just enough that I was never fully happy about my smile.
I’ve thought about doing a teeth aligner product for years, but just didn’t want to spend the money and didn’t know if it would be effective.
I also couldn’t justify it because it was really just my bottom teeth that I wasn’t happy with, so it seemed like a lot of money to pay for just a slight improvement.
Once I found a teeth aligner system that I can do in the comfort of my own home for a lesser price than typical teeth aligners, I had to give it a try.
How Does Byte Work?
Byte is an at-home teeth aligner system that can help to improve your smile from minor misalignment.
Byte connects you to a network of dentists and orthodontists across the United States. Each treatment plan is reviewed and approved by your state-licensed doctor to help ensure you’re a great candidate for clear aligners before you start your journey.
Byte aligners come with HyperByte, a high frequency vibration device that may help speed up treatment and lessen discomfort. This exclusive device comes in every aligner kit and is one of the many reasons customers love achieving their smile goals with us.
Creating Teeth Impressions
It was a fairly simple process to get started with my Byte aligners. Once I submitted my information, my impression kit was delivered within a few days.
The Byte impression kit typically costs $95, but with my code JUSTSIMPLYMOM, you can get it for $14.95!! If you pay that cost and Byte doesn’t feel that you’re a god candidate for the aligner treatment, they’ll refund you for the impression kit.
Once I received my impression kit I couldn’t wait to get started on my journey to a perfect smile!
The first thing I did was read over the instructions and make sure the mouth trays fit comfortably in my mouth. Unfortunately, they were too big for my mouth so I had to request smaller trays.
They quickly sent them over and they fit much better.
The instructions tell you to mix the dark and light putty together to place in the mouth trays. Then you insert the mouth trays in your mouth to make the mold.
This part made me gag because you have to hold each tray in for 3 minutes, 2 times. However, once it was done, it was over!
Once the molds were done, I sent them back through the mail and they got back to me within a week letting me know that my treatment plan was ready.
So now I am waiting on my aligners to get here so I can get started on my new smile! I hope you enjoy following along on my Byte journey and try it out too.

UPDATE 1: Treatment Plan Approval
I just received word that my impressions were received, accepted, and the team of dentists were reviewing them. During this time is when they create a treatment plan to develop my perfect smile.
I had to take a series of photos to send over as they review the impressions and visuals at the same time.
This process took about 2 weeks from when I initially sent in my impressions.
Quickly after, I received an email stating that my treatment plan was ready for me to view and approve. I was so nervous at this point to see what my smile would look like in just a few short weeks!
When I viewed my treatment plan, it laid out every last detail from how long I’d have to wear each mouth tray to exactly how my teeth would shift during each week of treatment.
On the website, Byte created 3-D images of my teeth to show how they would shift and change week-by-week. Not only was it amazing to see my current teeth as a 3-D image, but it was so cool to see the progression of how my teeth would look moving forward.
As you can see from the diagram above, you have multiple views of your teeth. You can view just the top, bottom, or both together from different angles. You can also fully rotate it around to look at each side differently.
The bottom of the screen shows every week of treatment and how my teeth will shift during the whole process. Therefore, week 1 is basically my current teeth and week 13 will be my beautiful new corrected smile.
This helps so you can compare your progress and make sure that things are moving along as they should.
For example, I can see on my treatment plan that the majority of shifting won’t happen in the first couple of weeks. This helps so that I know when the progress should be happening so I can question the results at any point if I’m worried things aren’t going as planned.
I can’t wait to get these mouth trays and start my treatment toward a perfect smile with Byte teeth aligners! Stay tuned!
