Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 My daughter (she's 6.5mos old now) has been in a DOC band for four weeks now for plagio on her right side. At our last appt, on Tues, I asked how much longer; I was told only 2 maybe 3 more adjustments at the most could be made. Our clinician told me that her growth will end up determining her graduation because she will outgrow the band. But, my daughter still has some asymmetry behind her right ear--when I asked about this, I was told that it is very hard to correct in that area and further most babies leave treatment with mild aymmetry still. Really? Is this true? So, she will be in her band for 3 maybe 4 more weeks at the most and her biggest changes are finished with a good possibility of leaving flat behind her right ear? Her clinician said you know if she were to come in today for a consult I would tell you not to treat and that she looks good (only noticeable to mom, dad or ortho); I would agree but I thought her head would be perfectly round when done. I guess I thought her band would just work and work until we took it off and not just stop after a certain point that's hard to correct. What do you think, does this seem right?
