Accessibility statement
The site is designed to support keyboard navigation, readable contrast, responsive layouts, text alternatives and reduced motion, with ongoing review as content and features change.
Diagnosis before applianceThis page supports informed questions. It cannot examine you or determine treatment suitability.
The plain answer
Accessibility is an operating requirement, not a one-time certificate.
The website targets WCAG 2.2 AA practices where practical, including semantic headings, visible focus, labelled forms, alt text, skip navigation and keyboard-operable menus.
Automated checks cannot prove complete accessibility. Keyboard navigation, zoom, screen-reader workflows and user feedback remain important parts of ongoing review.
What matters
Key points before you act
Use these as a decision filter at a real consultation.
Visual
Colours, type size, spacing and focus states are designed for readability.
Responsive
Content reflows for mobile and high zoom without deliberate horizontal scrolling.
Known scope
This statement covers OrthodonticsInNanaimo.com. External linked websites, browser controls and third-party tools are controlled by their respective providers.
New documents or embedded tools should be reviewed for accessibility when added.
Feedback
Use the contact form to report the page, control and barrier. Do not use it for a medical emergency.
Include enough detail to identify the affected page and the problem you encountered.
Ongoing review
Accessibility should be rechecked after meaningful changes to content, navigation, forms or interactive features.
A passing automated scan should never be treated as proof that the whole user journey is accessible.
