Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi , Any red spot that doesn't fade within the hour needs to be addressed. Her band more than likely needs to be adjusted. You should call your ortho in the morning. > Ellen just got her band this a.m. and she's looking very cute in her > little band:) now I'm up with her waiting for a red spot to fade.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hi - Ian got his DOC band Sat the 10th. He had a red spot above his ear, and I just knew I was going to have to drive 3 hrs each way to the clinic, but Mike said to keep an eye on it. It has gone away now and it looks like a real thin layer has rubbed off (kinda like dry skin) So, all is well now. It took longer for his spot to fade as well, but I did put the band on since it didn't bother him either. Good Luck!
