On the surface, the two companies seem pretty similar. After all, both help you straighten your teeth and get the smile of your dreams. But on average, ClearCorrect costs $2,000-2,500 more than Byte. That cost discrepancy comes from a variety of factors.
Byte has a one-size-fits-all pricing model. Mild to moderate cases pay the same amount. With ClearCorrect, it’s the opposite. The more severe your case, the more you’ll spend. The only exception is their Flex line, which lets you pay for each aligner separately. Flex is dedicated to minor cases, so it’s not as expensive.
In addition, ClearCorrect is administered in-person by a dental provider. With that comes a host of overhead costs, from the orthodontist’s salary and their support staff’s pay to the electricity and rental fees for the office itself. The price tag you pay on your ClearCorrect treatment contributes to those overhead costs. Since Byte doesn’t have those costs, it’s considerably cheaper.
