This is how I understand it to be.

Passive bands/helmets allow the head to grow into the shape you would

like to see.

Active bands apply gentle pressure on the high spots and helps to

shape the head..It also has room in the flat spots so the head can

grow into them and round out .

's in a DOC band which is active. She is 10 months old and I

wanted to get as aggressive as possible.

There is a big price difference between the DOC bands and Ballert.

DOC Bands are $3000

I think the Ballerts are $1400, but I would need to double check.

I lived in Lombard when I was really young. I went to Schafer

Elementry School (1st & 2nd grade). I lived on Drive.

I will be 35yrs old next months so it was a long time ago.
