Angie,

If you are getting correction from your STARband, you don't have

anything to worry about. :-)

The reason we are reading about these negative STARband stories, is

b/c the orthotists that are using them aren't experienced! We don't

hear negative stories about the DOCband b/c all of the orthos are

experienced. The STARband is a good product, just as good as the

DOCband, in the right hands!! The way they work is the same. So I

don't think you'd get faster results from a DOCband. You have a very

experienced ortho, so relax. :-)
