Re: is it too late? in michigan-

Hi :

I looked up Becker's website & it sounds as if the Becker Band is

active. Here's a link to their website

http://www.beckerortho.com/cranial/cranial.htm

Active bands apply mild pressures to non flat sides of the child's

head to help redirect growth into the flat areas.

Passive helmets do not apply pressures and are simply made into the

rounded shape for the baby's head to grow into over time thru growth

spurts.

Typically, passive helmets are best in younger infants when they're

growing so much. Active helmets/bands are better for " older " infants

as their growth has slowed down, so the pressures often help speed up

the rounding.

HTH.

Good luck getting the helmet Thurs!
