Re: 's casting pictures Taryn

Taryn,

That is the difference between the 2. One is active meaning it

actually redirects the growth of the head, by gentle pressure.

Passive, means just that, passive. It sits on the head and when the

head grows it will eventually grow into the shape of the helmet. If

he is saying might be in it until she's 2, then it most

definitely is a passive helmet. Correction happens faster with an

active band because of the gentle pressure. Let us know how

does when she gets it.

> She really did a good job and I was so proud of her. The strength

of our little one's is absolutely amazing. Thanks for the info about

two bands. The orthotist had also said she could possibly wear one

until 2 years of age. How come some people are getting done in 2-3

months and we are stuck possibly for over a year? I will keep

everyone posted on her fitting on Tues. and how she tolerates it.
