Re: How long does banding take?

[Guest guest]

Hi Mish,

The younger a baby is banded the better and faster the correction.

Average time is 4.5 months but our younger babies are graduate before

that.

Hi Michele,

It varies on an umber of factors~ age, severity, type of band,

growth spurts.

Genereally speaking, the younger the baby, the less time a baby will

wear a band.

Hi Mish,

Hannah's first band fit for 10 wks starting at 4.5 mos old. Band #2

fit for 16 weeks and she got it at 8 mos. The younger they are

banded the BETTER and faster correction they will get. You also

have to take severity and rate of growth into account. Some babies

starting even older than Hannah did have been in it less than 3 mos

b/c they have just had some major growth spurts. Cranial Tech just

shaves it until there is no more left to shave and then we always

had more correction to go, so we've done another. Locally speaking,

NOPCO uses a passive helmet so the wear time would be longer.
