Is SMARTbite comfortable?

Yes. Your SMARTbite is custom-made for you alone. We take an impression of the roof of your mouth so it fits comfortably. What's more, the revolutionary soft-edge design ensures maximum comfort. Within 1-3 meals, you will get the hang of eating with SMARTbite. Some users notice a difference when speaking while wearing SMARTbite. However, you will find that you become used to speaking with it quickly.

Can I use SMARTbite with other weight loss products?

Because there are no side effects and SMARTbite does not work by chemically affecting the brain, heart or digestive system, it can be safely used in combination with other weight loss aids. Experts agree that combination therapies produce greater weight loss faster. And adding a healthy diet and exercise to any weight loss solution is a safe and effective form of combination therapy.

Have the safety and efficacy been evaluated in clinical studies?

SMARTbite's claims are from evidence-based, reliable, clinical research. Its safety and effectiveness have been proven in several clinical studies conducted at the highest scientific standards. Our clinical trial conducted at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center was published in the peer-reviewed journal, Obesity Research, and presented at the North American Association for the Study of Obesity Annual Meeting, which sets SMARTbite apart from questionable weight loss products. Real-world studies showed an average weight loss of 7 pounds in a month, with subjects ranging from 4 to 13.1 pounds of weight loss. And a multisite pivotal IRB-approved randomized, controlled study showed compliant users experienced 38.1% Excess Weight Loss (EWL) over 4 months. This study was authored by Dr. John Dixon and Dr. Mitchell Roslin, two globally recognized leaders in weight management medicine and has been submitted for publication.

How does SMARTbite work?

SMARTbite is a safe, removable, custom made device that is placed comfortably in the upper palate (the roof of the mouth) only while eating. SMARTbite decreases your oral capacity, so you take smaller bites, which slows food intake and allows onset of your body's satiety response. Because using SMARTbite requires more chewing of food, it permits more savouring and tasting of your meal. Slowing intake to trigger your body’s satiety response and enjoying your food makes you feel satisfied on less.

Each SMARTbite includes an embedded microsensor and reader that enables you to monitor your usage and progress on a secure website - like an automatic "journal," which can be an important part of losing weight. This journal can be used for up to a year and shows easy-to-read daily, weekly and monthly results.

How is SMARTbite different from other weight loss solutions?

SMARTbite is not a pill, a supplement, a program, a special diet or a surgical therapy. It is a non surgical, removable, safe, effective, affordable weight loss device that has been validated in several clinical trials. At a time when overweight and obese populations are reaching new heights around the world, SMARTbite Weight Loss offers a safe, easy to use tool that can be used alone or in combination with other solutions.

What is satiety and how will it help me lose weight?

Satiety is your body’s build-in defense mechanism that guards against overeating. On average, it takes approximately 10 – 15 minutes for satiety to begin – for your stomach to tell your brain that it has had enough. Because modern lifestyles are so rushed, we have become used to gulping our meals (and too many calories) in just a few bites and leaving us with a sense of hunger. Because SMARTbite slows your rate of eating, it will allow you to feel satisfied from a meal after consuming less of it (and fewer calories).

Do I need to eat a special diet when I use SMARTbite?

SMARTbite Weight Loss does not require a special diet or food. However, eating a variety of healthy, fresh food is better than a diet of highly processed, high calorie foods. SMARTbite requires that you take responsibility for change, and the effectiveness of your SMARTbite can be maximized by adopting a healthier lifestyle.

How much weight can I expect to lose with SMARTbite?

In a study conducted at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in the US, the daily food intake of people using SMARTbite was reduced by 23% (533 fewer calories in a day) compared to the food intake of people not given the device. In a subsequent scientific study, 173 overweight and mildly obese people were evaluated in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Among those subjects who used SMARTbite as directed, the average excess weight loss (EWL) was 38.1%. In another multi site study, subjects experienced weight loss of 4-13 pounds in 30 days, the average weight loss among study participants was 7 pounds in 30 days.

What is sensor monitored weight loss?

The microsensor in your SMARTbite functions like your own online "journal" that automatically monitors your device usage and tracks your progress. Periodically, you will place your device on a SMART Reader and upload your sensor data to a secure website (my.scientificintake.com) where you can easily see how successful your device usage has been and monitor your progress towards your target weight.

Can I talk when wearing SMARTbite?

You will be able to speak when wearing your SMARTbite. Some users may have a slight "lisp" when speaking with their device, especially in the beginning. However, you will find you become used to speaking with it very quickly.

Is SMARTbite an orthodontic retainer?

SMARTbite is NOT an orthodontic retainer. While the device is custom made using some of the same safe materials as orthodontic retainers, its structure, function and design characteristics are unique to SMARTbite - which is to serve as a weight loss aid and not to move or maintain teeth.

SMARTbite is designed to simulate a naturally occurring condition called Torus Palatinus, a thickening of the roof of the mouth. People with this condition tend to be thin, because Torus Palatinus causes them to take small bites, eat slowly and allows them to feel satisfied on less food.

What are the side effects of SMARTbite?

SMARTbite is a proven weight loss solution without side effects. The device functions without pharmaceuticals, chemicals, herbs, injections, special diets or surgery. It is a custom made oral device that is placed only at mealtime. It is a removable, biocompatible tool designated as a Class I (safest) medical device. It has no moving parts and is used approximately 45 to 60 minutes per day (only when consuming food).

How will losing weight help me?

Maintaining a healthy weight is important because obesity can cause many serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory problems, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, low self esteem, GERD and some cancers. Most scientists who specialize in overweight and obesity agree that even a small amount of weight loss - even 5% to 10% of body weight can have a positive health effect, improve health by 30% or even lower the chances of some co-morbidities by 30%.
