EVIDENCE
Braces & aligners โ€” Realistic movement, realistic expectations

Why evidence matters

Less marketing, more orientation We separate solid evidence from promises that sound good but are weakly supported.
More realistic expectations Benefits, limits, and uncertainties are explained clearly before you decide on treatment.
Better conversations with your practice You can bring structured questions to your dentist instead of relying on ads or social media.
Safer decisions Independent evidence helps you weigh treatment options more calmly and confidently.
