Re: brachycephaly, will be banded in 3 weeks time

[Guest guest]

I don't know for sure but think in general heads don't want to grow

high. the more natural growth is " brain shaped " as my ortho called it.

I think most of the correction for height it to grow in the flat areas

and it evens out. I think once you get the pressure off the flat spot

and direct the growth there it should work without putting pressure on

the top.

my daughters head isn't high, but had two " corners " that stuck up in

the back. they are almost blended in with her head now that i has

grown and filled in at the back.

What kind of band are you getting?
