Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi everybody, quick question here, when Abbey saw her ortho last week, he said about another month to go !!! Yeah! And then he said 4 more weeks after that just wearing it at night. Has anyone experienced this, I have never heard of it just being worn at night. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hello No, I've not heard of the band being worn only at night. Ours which was a local band was worn 23hrs a day till tx was done. Maybe you an ask your ortho why he is doing this?

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi , I have heard other members post about this in the past. Hopefully someone will be able to give you some insight on it. I can't remember if it was a local or STARband. I would say that if you're looking for further correction I'd have her still have her wear it the 23 hrs. If you're just trying to prevent regression and the band still fits okay, than I guess night wear wouldn't hurt. --- In Plagiocephaly , " " <katiemammen@c...> wrote: > Hi everybody, quick question here, when Abbey saw her ortho last > week, he said about another month to go !!!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi ! I had a similar question not long ago. My neuro said we could put it on just at night and during naps toward the end of treatment, but, to be honest, he's never seemed all that into helmets, didn't know what kind we'd be getting or anything about it when he referred us for one. He also said to take it off for 15 minutes 4 times a day, which I've never heard before. So his information may be old. The ortho said to stick with the 23 hours until we're done treatment. But I'd ask your ortho a little more about it and see what s/he has to say.
