Can you promote in r/orthodontics?

A place to discuss anything related to orthodontics and ask for advice

The short answer

Do not post promotional content or mention your product/company; engage only as a regular user providing neutral, helpful information and, if applicable, ask permission from moderators before any post that could be construed as commercial.

What works here

  • participate in discussions and answer questions non-commercially
  • solicit replies for student research within reason
  • professionals may post clinical discussion (without impersonation or identifying patient info)

What gets posts removed

  • promoting products or services
  • posting commercial links, demos, or solicitations
  • repeated posts about the same subject that appear promotional
  • posing as a medical professional to promote a product
