Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 was fitted for her band on 12/27th. She has 9 mm of assymetry. She has a real flat head-rated just under severe. The band seems to be loose. Her back right side there is open space to grow into. But the band seems likes it moves on her head. We are consistantly adjusted it. Is this normal?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 I was told that the band would slip around a lot for the first few weeks until the head started changing shape. Just keep slipping it back in the right spot. I was worried that if it was in the wrong place for too long it would do major damage to the correction of the plagio, but that was not the case. Pretty soon the band will start to fit better as the head shape starts to improve. It really is a miracle! Right now, 's band has nothing to " hold onto " in the back because of the flatness. But, if you have big concerns, call Cranial Tech and tell them. They will let you come in if they think it's a problem.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 This is just my two cents from my " hindsight " perspective . . . If the band seems loose when you " start " treatment, consider pushing for an " extended " treatment time. I tend to wonder if the band was doing much good in the very beginning for us, and now wish we would have kept our daughter in it a bit longer to get as much out of it as we could, regardless of it seeming " tight " at the end, and some concerns over a big red spot (from pressure) on her forehead. That all faded and her forehead's fine, but I don't think we got as much correction as we were hoping for. I guess I'm thinking that the band was doing more when it was " tight " than " loose, " which only stands to reason . . .

At the end, Hanna's band actually sat crooked on her head. We took it off 3 days before she "officially" graduated, just because it fit so funny, I was scared it was doing more harm than good. She wore 1 band for 5 months. It was ready to come off - pretty small! Kendra rymszagj@... wrote: This is just my two cents from my "hindsight" perspective . . .
