The phenomenal growth of the Internet has occurred because of the creation of the World Wide Web. The Web stores a huge amount of all sorts of health care information. It poses unlimited opportunities for people to access information. However, there is no central control and no regulatory policy regarding publication on the Web. The purpose of this study is to develop and apply published standards to perform a quality evaluation of orthodontic Web sites. Three hundred Web documents were visited and evaluated. The results indicate a variance of orthodontic information. The more professionally oriented information met more definitive standard criteria; on the contrary, the information designed for the general public met fewer standards.
互联网的显著发展得益于万维网的创建。网络存储了大量各类医疗保健信息。它为人们获取信息提供了无限机遇。然而，对于网络上的信息发布没有中央控制，也没有监管政策。本研究的目的是制定并应用已发布的标准，对正畸网站进行质量评估。访问并评估了300份网络文档。结果表明正畸信息存在差异。专业性更强的信息符合更多明确的标准；相反，面向普通大众的信息符合的标准较少。
