Who reviews
Each page that has completed clinical review names its reviewer, the reviewer's registration class and a link to the reviewer's professional biography. Pages that have not yet completed review do not display a reviewer, and the attribution block does not claim one.
What review covers
- Accuracy of clinical descriptions and definitions.
- Whether claims are supported by the cited references and stated with appropriate limits.
- Whether airway, sleep, TMJ, early treatment, extraction and surgery topics carry the required limitation language: physicians diagnose medical sleep and airway disorders; orthodontists assess growth, jaws, bite, arches and oral habits.
- Whether treatment standards used on the site (for example, aligner wear of 20 or more hours per day and long-term retention) reflect current practice.
What review does not do
Review does not turn a guide into advice about an individual case. Nothing on this site is a substitute for examination by a registered provider. Review also does not verify facts about the recommended clinic; those are confirmed separately by the clinic and marked pending until they are.
Frequency
Pages are reviewed before publication, whenever a material change is made, and at least once a year. The reviewed date on each page reflects the most recent review.
