Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi everyone, My name is my daughter Avery(4 months) has plagio and tort. She just started with a Hanger band 5 days ago. She is adjusting well. Anyway, can someone tell me what measurements are normal? Her cephalic index is 94% and her cranial vault asymmetry is 12%. What percentages are normal? What should we be hoping for at the end of treatment? I have all these numbers and percentages but I am not really sure what they mean.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi , my daughter has brachy, our ortho told us that 5% corrections was good and 10% was great. the amount you get depends on when you start and how much growth you can catch. You're starting early. My daughter's was more severe (100%). I think she'll be done in about 1 more month and will probably get about 10%. Her head looks so much better I wouldn't mind stopping now, but want to see if we can do better. She's been in the band 3 mo today and I am definitely sick of it, but can stand one more month. If the ortho recommends continuing before that I'm not sure what I'll do :-) good luck, =christine mom to sydney/ 8 mo/ starband 5-31-06 > > Hi everyone, > My name is my daughter Avery(4 months) has plagio and tort. > She just started with a Hanger band 5 days ago.
