Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi. My son is almost 1 year old (tomorrow is his birthday). He is wearing his healmet since March 3. He started with a medium 3-4 plagio. His head was flat on his right side and at the back was bulged alot in the left side. Now it's almost perfect . But in front at his forehead he still has bulged on the right side. It's much better than how it was but still pretty viewable. His doctor from Free Bed, Corazza, is sick and we have appoitment with Rex. On wednesday. Since yesterday I took of his healmet beause I noticed near his right eye has a puffiness. He was trying to get his healmet out and it was obvious something was wrong and when I took it out I saw that puffed up area near his eye. We are going on Monday at his 1 year check-up. We are going to see if It's from healmet or not. How long do you think it will take him to fix that bulge at his forehead? Will he ever?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I doubt at this point that his eye puffiness has to do with the band, it might be unrelated. At his age, his forehead may or not get better. Is there plenty of room in the front quadrant for his non-bossed forehead area to grow?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Our daughter has worn her helmet since March, too! She has also seen great correction. But, the last to change was the forehead. I think the ortho was less concerned about this compared to the head shape. She actually said we could be done 6 weeks ago, but I wanted to try to get the bossing taken care of. So, she only adjusted the front of the helmet on the smaller side, and we have seen good change lately. I say to keep on going if you can still get correction. He is still growing (even if it is slower) and there should continue to be change. Do you like your ortho? Make sure to voice your concerns and wishes for his head. I had to kind of press to get ours to shape the forehead. Look carefully at the scans to see if you can show the ortho exactly what you are talking about. Matt is a cute boy and looks like he enjoyed his cake. I really can't see the forehead problem in the pictures, but that doesn't mean much.
