Kind of worried about band being too crooked

[Guest guest]

I am kind of worried about Isabelle's band being too crooked. Is it

normal for bands to sit so crooked or crooked at all?? I was also

worried because she has a STARband and out of all the pictures I have

seen her band doesn't look like any other STARband. The hole on the

top is way lower than any other one and I know in the front by her

forehead and the " side burns " are thinner but the ortho has had to

make adjustments to those parts due to red marks. I asked about the

hole on top and why hers was lower and they just told me that she

doesn't need that much correction there. She is sleeping now but

tomorrow I will take some pictures of her and post them so maybe some

of you guys can tell me if it looks too crooked. I really hope that we

don't have an ill fitting helmet. Can it be ill fitting if it's too

crooked????

Thanks

The band shouldn't be crooked. A little shifting is normal but it

shouldn't sit on her head and be crooked. Look in the photos section

in the before and after pics of ourSTARband babies. You'll see how a

band is supposed to fit. You can also look in the files section in the

folder getting a good fit. Please do post pictures.

I'll be away from the board for a while, my daughter will be checking

my email for me. Feel free to email me anytime.

It is a different looking Starband, but I am not sure what to make of

it. A band should not be crooked. Is it very loose? I have never seen

one with the opning that far forward but I honestly don't know if

that is a problem. Have you spoken with anyone else who has used this

facility? You can always try taking some pictures and sending them in

to Orthomerica and see what they say. Just thinking here. I hope it

is nothing or a design because of where she needed correction.
