problems with untreated plagio

[Guest guest]

I am getting ready to write my final insurance appeal for medical

necessity (DOC band) and I would like to include examples of problems

that can occur when banding is not done. I was thinking there was a

post on here recently where someone was describing TMJ or some other

jaw problem with an older child who had untreated brachycephaly. Any

help or comments would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter was treated with a Doc band but the cross bite was never

helped.

Hi . It has been written in a number of articles that

untreated plagio can lead to migraine, chronic ear infections, TMJ,

and in some cases, due to facial assymetry, optical issues. Check

out our links section under Plagiocephaly Studies and Research.

When I was researching early on I found a ton of great information

there. There is also a group for parents of older kids with

plagio. You might be able to find some information there to help

you. Just some ideas. let us know if you need anymore help.
