I just took a look at the fit of 's band and I would second 's concerns. If you look at 's front page pic- focus in on the top of the head, and look to see how much extra "height" is added to the band, and where his head actually stops (you can see where the top of the back of 's head stops, and where the band keeps going). The extra height could concievably allow the head to grow upwards- and the sides are way too tight looking for comfort. Is the band hard to put on ? I would ask the ortho to trim the top to the height of 's head- open it up a bit more- and the tightness around the face needs to be addressed too. I'm not an ortho or claiming to be one, but looking at countless photos you do get the sense of what is right from wrong. I hope these are all issues that the ortho will address promptly. Please keep us posted- this advice is not to upset you, just give you a heads up so that you can talk in detail with your ortho about these suggestions and see what he/she thinks. Good luck!

Hi ,

I was just in the files section looking at the Front Page Stars

photos. I have to tell you I'm VERY concerned w/the fit of 's

band. It appears to be too tight on the sides and way too big on top.

The top of his head should fit against the top of the band. I have a

feeling that what is going to happen to is that his head is

going to grow UPWARDS b/c that is the only place it can go. Please

address this w/your ortho. How is doing?

I'm sorry if I've upset you, but I just can't not say anything. There

is something obviously wrong with the fit of his band. I'd HATE to

hear another story of another babies's head getting worse b/c of a

bad band. Please keep us posted.
