RE: regression after removal

[Guest guest]

From what I have heard the regression rate is really small, less than 5% of

cases. If your son is growing really fast then he will grow out of the band

before he is a year old. As much as the ortho might want him to stay in it

that long it might not be physically possible to do so. My personal

suggestion would be to wear it until it no longer fits, whether that happens

to be 8 weeks from now or 5 months from now. Or, wear it until you are

happy with the shape of his head.

regression after removal

Hello - my son got his 2nd helmet from Hanger yesterday, it is a MUCH

better fit and bigger so he can grow into it. we have seen

improvement already, minor, but improvement! anyhow, my orthotist

said he sees a lot of parents eager to take the helmet off and then

regression occurs. from what I have read on postings there isnt

anyone who has experienced regression, or is there? my son is 7

months with moderate plagio, my orthotist is suggesting he wear it all

the way up to a year, my husband and I were hoping 8 - 12 weeks since

he is growing so fast and improving each check up. but on the other

hand we dont want to see regression either. has anyone experience

mild to significant regression after removing the helmet? Thanks!
