I call the ortho & asked them to keep it white if it's not too late

[Guest guest]

the girl that works the front desk didn't know because the ortho

wasn't in yet & she said he may have worked on it Saturday.I wish I

could have seen the pattern on an actual helmet.They just had round

disk samples.It's not a DOC or STAR,he makes them himself but some

of the patterns I've seen on STAR bands before.I wish they had solid

colors cause I would have gone with that.

Kelli:

I'm sure even if you cannot change it that pattern will be cute.

I've seen photos of lots of patterned bands/helmets & think they're

all super cute. Don't worry about it

Have you heard back from the ortho yet today?

Any cranial therapy and associated "appliance" (i.e. helmet or band) is regulated by the FDA. The fabricating facility as well as the physical process of fabrication is held to strict guidelines. If there is an Orthotist making his own helmet or band he is at risk of a very large fine not to mention litigation from dissatisfied parents. Ask if the Orthotic lab you are going through is FDA approved...if not get out of there!

I guess I am confused.If an orthotist doesn't make them who does?

This place has been doing them for 8 years.

I asked him if he made them or if they were contracted out & he said

that they make them,that way the child is right there in front of

you to get a proper fit.

Kelli-

Don't worry about it! As you can tell here on the board, there are

several parents going with Ballert, so you are not alone. Lord

knows Taryn has done her homework about Ballert! LOL!

Like Kellie said I would disregard this post. You do not need

anything else stressing you out! You are doing great.
