National dental insurance provider partners with byte® to offer coverage of teledentistry services

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- byte, the world’s fastest growing doctor-driven direct-to-consumer invisible aligner company, has announced a partnership with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America® (Guardian Life) to extend coverage of byte invisible aligners to its orthodontic members. By having byte as an “in-network” provider, Guardian Life will provide members greater access to care and affordable pricing for at-home invisible aligner therapy to straighten teeth.

This innovative benefit enables eligible plan members who cannot receive in-office treatment or prefer an at-home experience for straightening their teeth to do so remotely with byte’s teledentistry platform. This includes assessment by a licensed doctor, a prescribed customized treatment plan, and remote monitoring throughout treatment.

As part of the in-network relationship, Guardian Life members can receive invisible aligners at an exclusive discounted price which equates to more than 60% less than traditional braces¹, a significant savings. Qualified Guardian Life members will have access to:

A byte treatment plan prescribed and monitored by dentists and orthodontists, including a full set of aligners and teeth whitening
The exclusive HyperByte high frequency vibration device, which allows for faster treatment times and reduces discomfort of aligner therapy
First set of retainers included at the end of treatment
Byte-for-Life guarantee

Guardian plan members with orthodontic coverage can start the process today by visiting byte’s website (https://go.byteme.com/guardian) and ordering an at-home impression kit. When it comes to payments, eligible plan members can review their benefit information and any potential out-of-pocket expenses with byte’s reimbursement team.

byte’s teledentistry platform and customer care is rated the highest in the industry according to leading third-party review sites such as BestCompany², and all Guardian patients receive the byte-for-life guarantee.
