Re: Pics of Jaden w/ mommy Amy in Minnesota

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy:

Thanks for adding all those adorable pictures, Jaden is one handsome

little guy! Thanks for your photo too, I see where Jaden gets his

good looks

From the pictures, I'd rate his plagio as high moderate-severe? I

think he would most definitely benefit from a helmet or band

treatment. Have you chkd out our " Severity Assessment Forms " in our

LINKS section? If not, chk those out to see how Jaden would rate on

those forms. They're very helpful.

I'd love to see your ped " roll his eyes " after a few short mos of

Jaden wearing a helmet! He'll eat his words! Make him a believer!

Good luck at the appt in a couple wks.

Keep us posted.

Hi Amy,

Jaden is a doll, thanks for sharing his pics with us. I agree with

Debbie on the severity. Keep us posted.

Hi Amy,

What a beautiful smile Jaden has! I would say that he would be

moderate-severe. Let us know what happens with Gillette.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for posting the pics. Jaden is such a cutie and it's great

to be able to put a face w/your name! I'd say Jaden's severity

looks on the high end of moderate to me. I think you'd really be

amazed at the difference a band would make. My ped wasn't a helmet

believer either, and I had to demand a referral to a specialist. I

brought her lots of info on it and Hannah's impressive progress pics

and she actually wrote the scripts for her 2nd and 3rd bands

herself! What is your next step?
