Re: What company is best?

LeAnn,

I don't have any experience with the location you are going to in

Savannah, since I live in Philadelphia. But I do have experience

with the STARband. Both of my twins wore the bands, Danny for 3

months and Kaylie for 4 months. I was very fortunate to get an ortho

that had been banding babies for 20 years, I couldn't ask for someone

with more experience! And experience is the key to having success

with the bands. Have you visited the website of Orthomerica, the

makers of the STARband? They have a list of questons there to ask a

potential ortho http://orthomerica.com/

There is also an unbiased list of question (unbiased meaning its not

posted by the makers of the product!) at

http://www.plagiocephaly.org/support/questions.htm

Good luck LeAnn! I truly hope you have as wonderful an experience as

I did!
