Re: Growth between casting and fitting?

July 1, 2002

Two weeks is a typical turnaround. Yes, there may be some growth,

but they will fit the band in that first appointment, just like at

all the subsequent fittings, so if they have to adjust it, they can!

Hope this helps...remember, they are trained to adjust it correctly

as the baby grows.

Hi Barbara,

From the time we were casted, to the time we received our STARbands,

about 3 weeks had gone by. Any growth the twins might have had

during that time was taken into consideration when the ortho made the

first adjustment.
