Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hello ! Did the ortho give you good instructions on how to put on and remove the helmet? If not you may want to pay him another visit to make sure you have it just right. Also, the helmet should not be shifting so low that it obstructs his vision. If that is happening then an adjustment may be necessary. It seems odd that it just popped off by itself. I think that might concern me more then anything else. Maybe a call to the ortho would be in order to address some of your questions and concerns. I'm glad that you have the helmet now and I hope all the details will be worked out soon.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 , I would really ask your ortho questions about the fit and for sure have him/her address those eye concerns. A locally made helmet is only as good as the experience of the ortho- and there have been a few members with problems, and plenty more without problems, but just be on top of it and have your ortho explain away all concerns. I'm not really familiar with what to expect with a local helmet, so I hope others can offer you advice on what is normal/abnormal or what to expect and what not. Good luck and I hope does better with adjusting to it. ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 , Hooray!!!!! I'm so glad that has his band and is doing well. Such good news! Yes, it will fit loose for the first couple of weeks, but that is normal. As long as you don't have spots that don't fade within and hour you should be okay. Keep us posted!!!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 , Great news for ! I'm so glad to hear he's adapting pretty well. We also had a loose fit, and most do in the beginning, we would shift it back as it too would move forward a bit a make him look like a shar-pei puppy with a wrinkly nose. But if its not compromising vision, it should start getting more snug very soon. Good luck and cheers to good growth spurts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
