Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Hi Melony, What does your ortho say? My son JT is graduating tomorrow with a little flat spot, but not enough for a second band. I think he looks great and I am so happy we decided to do this. If you think looks great, then be happy. Good Luck with your decision!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Melony, You answered your own question! You think she looks perfect, so I say you're going to have a grad in 4 weeks! What does your orhto think? Please let us know when is an official grad. > Hi! > > Got back from 's appointment today...She has 4 more weeks in > her band; which will put her graduating right at her first birthday. > YAY! > BUT...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 That is up to you. How much does that remaining flat spot bother you? My son wore 2 bands and I was glad I coninued treatment, I was willing to take the chance of getting a little more correction. Of course, I was very lucky to only have to pay 10% of the cost, money can be a big factor if your insurance doesn't cover it.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hello Melony I think we tend to STARE at our baby's head just a bit too much. Willow graduated beg Feb and I STILL stare at her little dent and all over for that matter. I think that maybe you should clear your head and take a look at 's head again and if you are happy then have her grad in 4wks and if you think that she needs to / or could have more correction then go for that 2nd band. Just remember that either way you decide, your decision is the right one. ) Sandy Willow's Mom Tort resolved/ Cranio Germany Grad > Hi! > > Got back from 's appointment today...She has 4 more weeks in > her band; which will put her graduating right at her first birthday. > YAY! > BUT...
