Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hello, My son Tanner was banded at 4 months 3 weeks and has been in his band for 5 weeks. He's completely outgrowing the band and got his last adjustment yesterday. Now I have one week to decide whether or not we continue treatment with band #2. His measurements are as follows: Original Measurements as of 1/6/2006: Cranial Vault Asymmetry: 22mm Mid-Face Asymmetry (eyes): 6mm Skull-Base Asymmetry (ears): 8mm Current measurements as of 2/21/2006: Cranial Vault Asymmetry: 10mm Mid-Face Asymmetry (eyes): 4mm Skull-Base Asymmetry (ears): 4mm I also posted his before and after pictures under " T " but I don't see them. Maybe it takes a while for them to upload onto the site???? I'm so torn on making " another decision " . We are extremely happy with his results but know his Asymmetry's can improve even more if we continue treatment for another 4-6 weeks. The 10mm Asymmetry concerns us as we'd hope for all measurements to be less than 6mm (considered mild). We have great insurance so money isn't an issue. Little Tanner is totally adjusted to the band and so is the family so that's not an issue as well. I guess our only issue is; are we being too critical and wanting too much perfection by choosing band #2. I would appreciate any and all the advice I can get.
