Re: Posted pics of Paige in her cap...

[Guest guest]

Liz,

I'm sorry, but I have not seen a clear cap like the one your daugher

has. Can I ask why they don't use foam lining inside? Is it all

plastic shell? How do they make adjustments as she grows? I am

very curious, it's so unorthodox compared to all the other bands I

have seen in the files. Please, no offense, but I am concerned for

you and your little Paige. I would love to hear more about it.

Thanks!

Liz,

Paige looks so adorable in her helmet, and she looks happy, too!

I don't think her cap is the Clarren, because the Clarren is opaque,

covers the ears, and has a chin strap. Here is a link to

Orthomerica's Clarren helmet:

I don't know for sure, but Paige's helmet resembles the Orthomerica

Starlight Cap or Starlight Side-Opening Band. Here are the links to

those two types of helmets/bands:

I know we have had group members in Starlights before, so maybe you

could ask your ortho to confirm!

So how has the helmet fit been going for Paige? She sure looks fine

with it in the photos! Thank you for posting them.

Take care,

She looks so cute! It does look like a Clarren. I believe that

Orthomerica makes those (I think) so if you want more info about it

you could check out their website. I think that they are cool

because you can clean them more easily.

What a cutie! The helmet decorations look great. How's she adjusting

to it?

Hello Liz

I never get tired of looking at beautiful babies in their

bands/helmets. She is gorgeous. How does this helmet work? Do you

go for adjustments?

It does have some foam lining in the back at the base of the helmet. It is all

plastic with vent holes drilled in, the way they make adjustments is by applying

heat and molding it in the direction it has to go. It's a weird material, they

told me not to leave it in the car because it would turn into a puddle of gel.

The ortho at Hanger uses this kind because he can see inside and tell if there

is correction because the skin will press against it and turn white. She has

been doing really well and has had no red spots which is something they told me

to watch for. We go for adjustments every week for now but will eventually only

have to come in every other week. The only thing I don't like about it is that

we have to readjust the velcro because it keeps wanting to rotate which

scrunches her one eye. I'm not thrilled with it but insurance talks and the

ortho is really good.
