Step 1, Editorial brief
The editor defines the patient question, target reader, evidence bar, and required sources. YMYL topics (cost, safety, contraindications, comparisons) require a licensed reviewer from the outset.
Step 2, Draft
Staff editors or commissioned clinicians write the draft, embedding citations inline. Every factual claim links to a primary source.
Step 3, Fact check
An independent fact-checker verifies statistics, price ranges, treatment durations, and contraindications against source documents.
Step 4, Medical review
A licensed orthodontist reviews the draft for clinical accuracy, safety, and appropriateness. The reviewer signs off with name, credentials, and review date.
Step 5, Publish and log
Once approved, the article is published with author card, reviewer card, last-reviewed date, next-review date, evidence badge, and references. A version history is kept for audit.
Re-review cadence
Every 12 months, or immediately when new evidence, guidelines, or product changes emerge.
