Research studies around the world have shown the link between eating fast and excess weight. Now there is a scientifically proven weight loss solution for people who like to eat, but who eat too quickly and eat too much before they feel satisfied.

With SMARTbite, you approach weight loss differently than ever before. SMARTbite is a custom made, non-surgical, clinically validated medical device that is easily placed during meals to slow eating and trigger satiety. SMARTbite is a powerful and proven weight loss solution that requires no pharmaceuticals, no surgery and has no side effects. It works in harmony with your body instead of fighting it.

SMARTbite changes how you eat, not what you eat. Slowing food intake affects how much you eat to feel satisfied, or satiety. Satiety is your body's built-in defense mechanism that guards against overeating. Today's hurried lifestyles contribute to excess weight because we outpace this defense. Your SMARTbite will allow you to feel satisfied from a meal after consuming less food and fewer calories.

Regular users of SMARTbite slow their food intake so they feel satisfied on fewer calories. Similar to weight loss surgery and gastric bands, SMARTbite restricts dietary intake. The difference is that SMARTbite restricts dietary intake where food enters the body vs. deep inside the body. It offers a safe, affordable, non-surgical weight loss solution for overweight and mildly obese individuals.

In just the past 25 years, eating on the run, increasing portion sizes and less physical activity have contributed to a near doubling of overweight and obese people in the world. Simply put, people eat too quickly and eat too much before they feel full - or satisfied. SMARTbite is not a diet, meal replacement or lecture program. It is a scientifically proven tool that can help you eat slower and consume fewer calories. SMARTbite changes how you eat, not what you eat. It allows you to feel satisfied from your meal after consuming less of it.

SMARTbite is a safe, removable, custom made oral device that is placed comfortably in the upper palate (the roof of the mouth) only while eating. SMARTbite combines five modes of action to achieve weight loss:

1. It makes you take smaller bites, slowing food intake.
2. It requires thorough chewing of food before swallowing.
3. It ends "gulping" of food.
4. By slowing the eating process, it permits more appreciation (savouring) of the taste, smell and texture of food. You will actually taste what you eat!
5. By slowing food intake, it permits triggering of your body's built-in satiety response when you have eaten less food, so you feel satisfied, but on less calories.

SMARTbite was developed after observing the eating habits of people with a naturally occurring condition called Torus Palatinus. People with this condition in the mouth are rarely overweight. Torus Palatinus decreases volume in the palatal area of the oral cavity resulting in the changes in eating behaviour above. It does this without pharmaceuticals, surgery or side effects.

Embedded in the SMARTbite is a small sensor that acts like a "virtual journal," tracking your success for you by recording your usage every day. Simply place your SMARTbite in its reader and attach the USB cord to your computer. This unique feature can help keep you measure your progress and stay motivated to wear your SMARTbite.

A large body of scientific research has linked rapid eating to overweight and obesity. SMARTbite has been evaluated in clinical trials confirming the safety and efficacy for a large subset of the BMI 27 - 35 populations.

The SMARTbite Shown Placed in the Upper Palate

If you are outside that range and feel a tool to slow eating will help you meet your weight loss goals, you are not precluded from using SMARTbite.

If SMARTbite is an appropriate weight loss solution for you, our trained SMARTbite technicians will take a simple impression of your palate.

The whole process can be completed in 10 – 15 minutes. Your impression is then sent to Scientific Intake to make your custom SMARTbite.

SMARTbite is custom-made just for you
and available through trained SMARTbite technicians at one of our 4 convenient locations in the GTA.

It's comfortable.
SMARTbite utilizes soft-edge technology and medical-grade materials. A clasp on either side of your SMARTbite quickly and easily tucks behind your eyeteeth. In one motion, you fit it up into the roof of your mouth, making the capacity of your mouth smaller. So you take smaller bites and eat less food.

It's discreet.
Simply place SMARTbite in your mouth before eating. Carry it with you in the convenient case we provide.

SMARTbite is designed to help you achieve a healthy weight - but it is not for everyone. SMARTbite is a small, removable, custom made oral device that slows food intake during meals and snacks. It is a tool that makes you slow down and enjoy your food while eating less of it. There are some quick points to consider to maximize your success with SMARTbite:

Do you eat your meals too quickly? People who take very small bites and are naturally slow eaters may not benefit from SMARTbite Weight Loss as much as people who eat their meals very quickly.

Is your oral health good? Because SMARTbite is placed in the mouth, people with poor oral health or missing a number of teeth are often not suitable for the device until their condition has been corrected by a dentist.

Are you motivated to lose weight? Weight loss success with SMARTbite is also dependent on your motivation and compliance. SMARTbite is voluntarily placed - it is not surgically implanted in the body. Voluntarily placed devices (much like contact lenses, hearing aids and birth control) do not work if not used as directed. So you must use it to lose it. Of course, the SMART Sensor is designed to help you by showing you where you need to improve with regular usage of the device with personalized daily, weekly and monthly charts.

The good news is that your SMARTbite is safe and easy to use. It is simply placed at the roof of the mouth (your palate) each time you eat. You will be amazed at how quickly you will get in the habit of using your SMARTbite if you make the commitment to yourself at the very beginning. Many users tell us that they like the flexibility of SMART. If you miss a meal, your efforts to date are not ruined. You control SMARTbite. It does not control you with rigid schedules, ongoing costs or specific dosage times.

Each SMARTbite is created from a special palatal impression taken under the supervision of a trained SMARTbite technician. Your patented SMARTbite is precision made for you alone using proprietary materials and methods. No two SMARTbite's are the same and the "restriction factor" of your device is determined by our laboratory experts and proprietary formula. Included with each SMARTbite is the embedded SMART Sensor and a SMART Reader with software - all for less than the cost of about six months of a prescription diet drug or a health club membership.
