Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Hi there, I was told by our orthotist that the STAR band is static, so the child's head simply grows into the empty bits. I know there was a post a while back though which suggested that they come in two different types. However, there is nothing to suggest that on teh Orthomerica web site. We are going to be going for checkups/adjustments every month with the STAR band. For more info on the STAR bands you can go to: http://www.orthomerica.com Best wishes, Kimberley (Evan and Hope's Mummy) > I believe that both the STAR and DOC band are dynamic.

I have not seen the DOC or > STAR band up close and personal so I am not 100% sure about the differences. > It is my understanding that they are similar although not exactly the same. > There are also some orthotists that manufacture their own brand of dynamic > band that is neither STAR nor DOC. > > Hope this helps. > > Marci (Mom to -helmet grad) > Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
