Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Dina, This would raise red flags for me too with it coming right off like just wearing a cap!!! I would start looking into your options and decide if its even worth it to continue with this ortho- if he can't get you in any sooner to see what's happening, that alone would concern me that he is not too worried about his product and more importantly, the child wearing it! I know that with CT they would squeeze me in wherever they could so that ample treatment time was not wasted. Are they far from you? Why is he making you wait so long to see him? How old is again? Do you feel you could start this whole process over ?(ug, I know)- but it may be worth it. Hope this finds better luck your way! HUGS!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Hi Beck, Thanks for asking. Actually, we are off to a very poor start. The band from Monday is way too big so we are going back Monday to get it adjusted. So, here we are, more then 3 weeks post-casting and no helmet. was casted on May 23rd. I am also rapidly losing faith in the ortho because every phone conversation we have had to keeps reminding me the band is supposed to be big. Literally, I put it on her head and she lifts it off effortlessly. As if she was wearing a baseball hat. I'll report back Monday after our visit. Thanks for thanking of us, Dina and > Hey Dina how is doing in her new band?? > Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the band should be slightly loose, but it should NOT be too big. You have every right to make him accountable for you concerns about the fit. Let us know how it goes.
