Matt & :

I see gave you the link to compare the STARband made by

Orthomerica & DOCband by Cranial Tech. Check that out, it has a lot

of great info..

If you have a Cranial Tech in your area & insurance will cover the

DOCband then I would definitely go with them! Like I mentioned

before, Cranial TEch specializes in the DOCband and plagio babies.

That's the ONLY condition they treat and the only product they

manufacture. They spend weeks training their OT's before they'll let

them treat plagio babies with their bands.

My daughter 1st used a STARband for 3 mos with no success at all.

Her STARband orthotist wasn't experienced in treating plagio babies &

actually ended up causing more harm to her head. We then switched

her to a DOCband which we traveled 4 hrs one way to receive. It was

worth every screaming mile!!!

Many parents have had success with the STARband, I unfortunately did

not.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll make the right decision.
