Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

The Aligner Guide publishes independent, source-backed general information

about clear aligners in New Zealand. This page explains how we source,

review, and correct our content.

Sources

Health-related pages cite New Zealand authorities first: the Dental

Council of New Zealand, Orthodontics New Zealand, and the Health and

Disability Commissioner. Where those sources do not answer a question, we

say so rather than fill the gap with unsupported claims.

Authorship and review

Pages are written by The Aligner Guide editorial team and checked against

the cited sources. They are not clinically reviewed unless a named,

verifiable registered clinician has reviewed them — and no page currently

claims such a review.

What we do not publish

We do not publish unsourced prices, treatment durations, complication

rates, or comparative-superiority claims. We do not invent clinicians,

patient stories, testimonials, awards, or review dates.

Corrections

If a page contains an error, correct it and update the page. To report an

error, use the sources-and-corrections route.

Update cadence

Pages carry a "Sources checked" date. We re-check sources when a page is

updated or when the cited authorities change their guidance.
