Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Can you post pictures? At 10mm, I would definitely say band. I think is suppose to be a tort expert? There are other bands out there. Unfortunately, I only know about the DOC band as that is what our ped. recommended so we didn't look into other band providers. We loved our journey with the DOC band. We are in Phoenix, AZ. My son started at 8mm assymetry and is now a 3mm. His head looks great. The higher the number the more assymetrical the head is. DOC only bands babies where other band providers are trained in a variety of orthotics/prosthetics so experience can vary greatly. The experience is key no matter what band you go with. Hopefully, someone has some input on some of the other providers that may be closer to you. Good luck in your decision. lisa PS: Just curious, Why did you go for an evaluation if you think his head looks fine? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I just joined the group and am looking for advise.
