Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hi , I'm not sure if the band can help with the jaw but I think that the physical therapy will help some. What did your PT say about it? \Natasha --- In Plagiocephaly , " roguem22 " <MICHELLE@C...> wrote: > Hi, > My 6 mo son will be fitted for his starband Tuesday.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 , Please let us know how your son's intitial Starband fitting goes on Tuesday! I wanted to post to say that there is one study in the links/plagio studies and research folder that states the helmet/band does not correct any jaw (mandibular) asymmetry. It's not too often that I read posts mentioning a jaw asymmetry concern, but I'm so glad a group member already replied that is facing similar concerns with her baby! I wish we had more information on jaw asymmetry and subsequent treatment to share; perhaps we'll hear back from some of the parents in the future as their plagio babies grow up to young children and these concerns are addressed/corrected with orthodontia or whatever.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hello My daughter Willow still has a crooked little smile after the band. When I look at her mouth inside and out I really can't see any asym, but when she smiles you can see it. So in our case it didn't take care of it. Hopefully it won't be a problem later on. We are still in pt as well even though Willow's tort is resolved. I think that maybe this asym is caused from the tort in combo with plagio.
