      I am rejecting this response because:


      I have reached out to the business personally, outside of the BBB forum repeatedly and have received no acceptable solution. Just responses from multiple associates saying there is nothing they can do besides further treatment. I am not satisfied with the result and no longer trust the business with my health.

      I was following all the steps i was asked to when suddenly I had an issue with one of my aligners. When I started to describe my issues they told me I needed to send a note in before speaking to me. I did just that and then they completely avoided speaking to me. When i reached out multiple times they dropped me from the plan without warning. They are a horrible company to work with and instead of helping me they left me high and dry. Whenever i teied to reach out again explaining i didnt want to be dropped or that the least they could do was give me a set of retainera that i was promised, they stopped all communication.

      I got these aligners last year, and i've had nothing but problems. Getting a hold of customer service was an issue from the beginning. They now want me to send them pictures with the aligners in so they can see what's going on. I cannot put the aligners in because none of them fit. My teeth are loose and my teeth hurt. So the aligners do not fit, none of them fit, as I haven't worn them for 2 months. I'm not looking for a refund. I just don't want to be responsible for the $ 120. a month payment . The full amount of the loan was for $3200. I've been paying it every month even though I'm not wearing the aligners because I don't want it to affect my credit. So i'm basically paying for nothing. I sent them an email 7 days ago when I still haven't heard anything. They're basically ignoring **** would put the email here, but the emails will be more than 2000 ************* it won't fit Can someone please help me? I'm paying a $120 a month for a product that does not fit.And has caused damage to my mouth. At this point I do not care about getting any type of refund.I just do not want to be responsible for paying on this loan any further.

      I am rejecting this response because: i have been going back-and-forth with byte for months. I haven't been able to wear my aligners for months. They keep asking me to send them pictures of my mouth with the aligners in and I keep telling them I can't wear the aligners, because they no longer fit because of loose teeth And I am in pain, however, they keep telling me to do the same thing, send pictures with the aligners in despite the fact. I cannot wear the aligners. And at the same time, I am stuck paying on a loan for over $3000, a $116 a month. Dealing with byte customer service has been the worst experience i've ever had with any customer service.

      I purchased Byte years ago and have had no success getting my smile corrected. Recently, I began using them again but aligners do not fit right. I contacted Byte and told them that the aligner is not matching my teeth and there are big gaps. They told me to go back and use my old aligners. I started using those but the problem persisted. I contacted Byte again and they just keep telling me the same thing: there's nothing wrong, check back in 14 days. It's been two months and the problem I flagged has not gone away, but with fail I get the same message: everything is fine check back in 14 days.

      When I first joined Byte's treatment plan, they offered a lifetime guarantee with the only reason to void the lifetime guarantee being not wearing a retainer after completing the treatment. Now that I have reached the end of my treatment, they told me I have to pay an additional $939 to re-enter the plan because they have voided my guarantee since I did not ask for extra retainers within 30 days. This was NOT in the original lifetime guarantee I was offered and they have removed their guarantees page: *******************************************************. So how do we as customers know what their INTERNAL CURRENT guarantees is? I attached the version of lifetime guarantee I received when I started my treatment plan with them. There is nothing mentioned at all in the ToS I received that mentioned this 30-day condition. No further notification saying that the lifetime guarantee is now changed.

      I did an invisible aligner treatment plan with this company and was happy with my results. However, when treatment was finished they sent me a faulty retainer that didnt fit. I emailed the company about getting a new one and I never received a response. My teeth then shifted and I asked them if I could reenter treatment as they have a lifetime guarantee and they are refusing to allow me to do so.

      I began my treatment in August 2024 and was supposed to end treatment by December 2024. It is now June 2025 and the product has not done what was promised. Every time I complain to them that the aligners they sent me dont fit, they tell me to just go back and repeat steps. I have told them multiple times that this doesnt make a difference. I was supposed to wear each aligner for one week each, but some of them have been worn at least six weeks because of how many times they made me go back. Now theyre telling me that I have to seek out a dentist who can do a special kind of xray, claiming that this will somehow make a difference. I have wasted close to a year dealing with this and have gotten nothing in return.

      I am currently still paying off the last of my Byte Aligner treatment plan and retainer plan, this despite the company closing down all services and future support. 10 months ago I requested my aligner plan be adjusted as the pain was increasing and my teeth werent moving with the aligner plan. I had frequent communication with Byte **** to wear each step for a month, and increase from the standard 2 weeks and to wear them longer each day. I did so, and I am still on the last available step (step 17) with crooked lower teeth and no support from Byte to continue their services as planned. They informed me new teeth moulds would be needed to correct the plan path, so they sent me the moulds, and I returned them back on Nov 4 2024. I never heard back on a revised plan with corrected aligners for my teeth as the *** had to intervene and Byte suspended all operations. There is presently a Class Action Lawsuit against the parent company of Byte I plan on joining should my refund request not go through in full. Closing their social media accounts is a dead giveaway that they never intend to resume company operations in any capacity that would resolve my teeth issues. My teeth are crooked, despite my continuing to wear the ailgners every single night as prescribed out of fear of worse damage should I stop cold. Been in ill fitting aligners now for 7 months. My total overall money paid once completed would be $2998. Dentist name: **** ******* Plan #: 0WC7NUVTEEJJ7LU4ESUP9 Protection Plan # (Retainers): 0H13WD10WJRNU4V088H

      In September of 2023, I did an impression kit for a Byte clear aligners. In Octobe, I paid $3,148 to start treatments. Things went fine until I had a few issues towards the end of treatment with fit and was asked to upload photo. I did and was asked again to send photos. After a bit of circling, I just gave up and asked for the retainer. In May of 2024, I paid $149 and received 1 retainer. I received a notice from Byte saying to stop use and now my teeth have gone back to how they were prior to starting treatment. I did not sign the notice nor did I visit a dentist to get advice/provide Byte with information as that was not part of my initial treatment agreement and is more money out of my pocket. I am seeking a refund.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
