anyone with a starband that worked???

[Guest guest]

Hi Ben's Mom I am sorry you had a bad experience with CT but I am glad that

someone was able to point you in the direction of another treatment method

that is great. We have had plenty of star band success stories and I am

certain our moms will chime in there and give you there's. It is really all

in the orthotists and the fact that your are confident with yours and he

cares is a great start. We are very happy you have found us and would love to

know more about you and Ben. Welcome

Hi Ben's mom,

My con Cole has a STAR Band, and we've been very happy with it. Like so

many others have commented, the orthotist is key. We've been happy with

ours, and like you, we saw some changes very soon (within a week and 2

days!). Good luck to you and Ben, and keep us posted.

Hi Ben's Mom!

We had a wonderful experience with the Starband, not once..but two

times! Both of my twins needed to wear the STARbands for their

plagio, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results that my

twins received. My daughter, Kaylie, had mild left side plagio with

facial and ear assymetry. My son, Danny, had mild/moderate

brachycephaly. They were about 7 and 1/2 months when we got the

bands, Kaylie wore hers for 4 months, and Danny wore his for 3

months. We were very fortunate in the fact that we had a very

experienced ortho who had been treating plagio for at least 20

years. And therein, lies the key to having success with either the

STARband, DOCband, or a locally made helmet. Each product is only as

good as the ortho who is treating your child. You sound very

comfortable and confident with your ortho, and that really is

awesome. With your son seeing improvement already is a great

indication that this will work for you. Keep an eye on those red

spots, you really don't want them to last longer than one hour.

Best of luck to you and your son, and please keep us posted!

So sorry to hear of your troubles you had with Cranial Tech - I will

say that is quite unusual for anyone to have troubles with Cranial

Tech, unfortunately, you & your son were one of the few

Glad though that you're having better luck with the other company.

My daughter is probably one of the bad STARband stories you have

heard of - Abby. Like everyone else replied, it all depends on the

orthotist & his or her experience in treating plagio babies with the

STARband. I see Niki replied to you with her twins success stories.

I wish you & Ben the best of luck & the roundest of heads!

Please be sure to keep us updated on his progress!!!

Welcome to the group also, glad to have you.

My son Ozzy has been in a Star band for 2 weeks now and i've seen

improvement already. He's scheduled to wear it for 4 months, all I

can do is hope for the best! Good luck to you!
