Editorial Standards
This page explains where the facts on the Fredal Orthodontics website come from, who approves each page, and how to report an error.
Why Fredal Orthodontics Publishes Editorial Standards
Fredal Orthodontics publishes this page so you can see how its website is made.
Facts about the practice, such as its treatments, prices, hours and policies, come from its own written answers. Dr. Fredal reviews and approves every page before it goes live.
Content Principles
Nothing Guessed
Facts about the practice come only from its own answers. A fact the practice has not given is left out, never guessed.
Plain Language for Families
Pages are written in plain language for families. A needed clinical term is explained when it first appears.
Evidence for Clinical Explanations
An explanation of how a treatment works stays on a page only when reviewed clinical sources support it. A claim the evidence does not support is left out.
Who Approved It, and When
Each page shows who reviewed and approved it and the month it was last updated.
Who Reviews and Approves the Pages
Dr. Thomas Fredal Jr. reviews and approves the pages on this website.
