Re: Kaitlyn got her helmet-posted pics of her in it *sad*!!!/Starlight

[Guest guest]

Bobbi,

I think her helmet looks like a Starlight Bi-valve helmet, except

that it's opaque white instead of the usual clear plastic. Here is

the order form that orthos use to order from Orthomerica:

The regular Starband is not FDA approved for scapho use (only FDA

approved for plagio and brachy,) but the Starlight is FDA approved

for scapho use in addition to plagio and brachy.

Please let us know what the ortho says, and I hope Kaitlyn gets more

comfortable in her helmet soon!

instead of calling?
