Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Congradulations !!! I also don't really know too much about numbers, I wish I did so I could help you out more. But I think that as long as you think that his head looks good then the numbers don't matter. Just my opinion!!!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi, I know that for ear and facial asymmetry 0-3 is normal! So that's a good thing for . :-) Your CT ortho wouldn't recommend graduating if your baby would benefit from another band. I can't wait to see his before and after pics. With numbers like his, he has to look great! Let us know when he's an official grad! > > Well..we just found out our graduation day is May 22nd! So 1 more > adjustment left and then that's it!
