Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 My son has been in his DOC Band for about 7 weeks. His face is starting to striaghten out. His ears are still a little bit lopsided, but I have heard that the asymmetry is usually the last thing to correct.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Hi & welcome to our group! Yes, the DOCband does usually correct facial assymetries. Facial & ear assymetries are often the most difficult to correct & take time. Your child is 6 mos old, that is a great younger age to begin treatment, so he/she will most like achieve very good improvement. Could you please tell us a little more about your child & his or her plagio? Welcome again!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 The band will help to correct facial assymetries and it will also help to bring the ears into alignment. My daughter wore a band for four months, and it really wasn't until we were towards the end of treatment did we see everything coming together. Good luck.
