Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

Orange County Orthodontics wants everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, voice control, screen magnification or captions. We work toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, and we treat accessibility as ongoing work rather than a finished project.

What we have done

  • Added a “Skip to main content” link, page landmarks and a consistent heading structure on every page.
  • Added text descriptions for images and clear names for links, buttons and icons.
  • Made keyboard focus clearly visible, and made the menu, forms and video controls usable without a mouse.
  • Improved color contrast and allowed pages to be zoomed on phones and tablets.
  • Made form errors move focus to the field that needs attention and announce themselves to screen readers.
  • Added English captions to our patient-education and testimonial videos, and a pause button for the background video on the home page.
  • Added an accessibility menu (the round button at the bottom right of every page) with options such as larger text, higher contrast, text spacing, a dyslexia-friendly font, pausing animations and reading the page aloud. The menu is an extra convenience; the site is built to work without it.

How we test

We check the site with automated accessibility testing tools and with manual keyboard testing, on desktop and phone-sized screens. This statement was last reviewed on November 13, 2026.

Known limitations

  • Video captions were produced with speech-recognition software and then reviewed by hand, so occasional errors may remain.
  • Some content comes from other companies, such as Google Maps and YouTube. We do not control how accessible that content is.
  • Automated and keyboard testing cannot find every barrier. If something does not work for you, we want to know.
