Oh, I forgot to mention that our therapist at CT said that he liked

the bands made from the scans, because they allowed for more

adjustments by the therapists themselves. He was saying it in

reference to my son's band in the forehead area, he cut quite a bit

away to give him more space above his eyebrows. I don't remember him

cutting any away from there with the first one. I think he meant

that there was some extra band to work with, so maybe that's the

issue with 's forehead indentation, some more just needs to

be trimmed away.
