Thank you, dear authors, for your questions. This study aimed to evaluate the videos on YouTube about early orthodontic treatment. It is stated in the article that there are different social media tools, but the article was prepared in the field of YouTube. It has been predicted that this is because the YouTube video-sharing platform has been evaluated more in studies among existing popular platforms.1, 2, 3 Exclusion criteria were determined with reference to previously published studies using a similar method.1, 2, 3, 4 In the study, only the videos in the English language were evaluated. As stated in the discussion section, such an evaluation has been made because it is one of the most spoken languages in the world.4,5 Because our research topic is a certain treatment method, videos of different treatment methods were not evaluated to avoid confusion. In the study of Al-Silwadi et al,6 videos that do not contain any sound elements are excluded because it is recommended to use YouTube as an audio-visual instead of verbal and written notifications in orthodontic patients. In addition, it has been deemed appropriate not to include videos with advertisements and television shows as they may manipulate viewers and include biased content.2
