Abstract

YT had higher-quality information within patient testimonials posted due to higher ICS values found than TT. Patient testimonials were not determined to have a positive or negative influence on potential patient opinions in either platform. Orthodontists should leverage their own TT profiles to help direct patients toward meaningful YT testimonials through informative video links.
