Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Lori, the band should not be tight!! It should be applying gentle pressure with the pressure points.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi Lori, That's definitely does not sound right.....Matt's band was so loose I was always worried it was too loose! (It would often sit pretty low on is forhead, I was always pushing it up). I would call your ortho and get in to see him/her as soon as you could. Good Luck! and /DOC/10-7-03 @10mos./PA dustiejones <dustiejones@...> wrote: Lori, the band should not be tight!! It should be applying gentle pressure with the pressure points.
