Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 , You've probably written it already in one of your messages but I can't find it. Can I ask you at what age started with the band, how long he had to wear it and what results he's achieved? thanks > > It is the first time I read about an emotional regression.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi ! He started the DOC Band at 17 1/2 months with moderate plagio. He wore it for four months, which is the limit for wear on a DOC Band. He had a great fit and never had a single skin or other kind of problem apart from odor. He doesn't exactly smell like roses out of the band, though, so it wasn't a problem. I have learned to love the smell o' Dumpster. I was hoping for at least 30% correction. At his age I didn't expect much but I had to try. What he got was about 90% correction. I noticed rather startling results within three weeks. His forehead bossing seemed to just go away all of a sudden. He has some remaining asymmetry but looks normal now. His hairline still comes at an angle across his forehead rather than going straight across, and that's the most noticeable thing. The only remaining problem is that he's awake right now! The little booger! I got up to have some Mommy time. I'll send this now. Let me know if you have any more questions. , 21 mos, DOC Grad 9/7 > , > > You've probably written it already in one of your messages but I > can't find it.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 It's really amazing and very encouraging. You must me so pleased! Can you quantify the assymetry in mm? Did people you didn't know used to notice his assymetry (I'm asking because nobody seems to detect alexander's plagio before you tell them) At the time did you choose the DOCband as opposed to another band or was it the only available? > > , > > > > You've probably written it already in one of your messages but I > > can't find it.
