Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 My son wore the Doc Band from 14mo-18mo and got pretty good results considering his late age. I think at the age of your son you should see really good results. If you are interested in seeing my son's pics they are under the " C " Pics under C.J. P.Study 1 & P. Study 2, before and after photos that C.T. took. Best of luck 2 you! -mom to C.J.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 We banded at 18.5 months (a lot older than your son even). Happy to report, my son graduated today (he's 22.5 months) and they saw as just about as much improvement as they see in younger babies. We are thrilled. > > Our little boy will be getting his DOC band at 11.5 months in less than two weeks for plagio and I was eager to hear from other families that have banded older babies.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 My son got his DocBand at 17 months old and has been wearing it for 6 weeks. There is definite improvement in his flat spot, and the ortho says he sees improvement in his forehead bossing, but I'm still skeptical about that. It's my biggest area of concern and I am super critical about it. And it's been really frustrating that at certain angles, it looks like it is improving, but then I'll look at it again, and don't think it's improved at all. I'm hoping it's just my eyes playing tricks on me! In any case, I'm thrilled that we've had the opportunity to band, even though it is at this late stage. I would totally recommend it to anyone who was in a similar situation, and we haven't even completed treatment yet! I think you will be very happy you banded! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi , do you take pics of your son's head? I took them every 2 weeks and it helped me to see improvement for myself. My memory is not good, and I too became super critical. Also different areas improve at different rates. My daughter had brachy and she is still flat in the upper/back part of her head - I think she always will be. However she got very good results overall. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > > > Our little boy will be getting his DOC band at 11.5 months in less > than two weeks for plagio and I was eager to hear from other families > that have banded older babies.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi - Yes, I am taking pictures every couple of weeks. It's just sometimes hard to get the exact same angle every time. If his head is tilted down even just a little, his bulge looks worse, so if I catch a glimpse of him with his head tilted backwards just so, it looks like it's improving. But then I see it again, tilted down, and I'm bummed out that it really isn't. I think it's just an extra slow process because of his age, and I think that photos are great for charting the whole process, but I think the final before and after photostudy from CT will really show what improvement has occurred. And hopefully it will be a lot! Again, he's only been in it 6 weeks and we still have 10 to go (or so), but the 6 have gone by so quickly, I'm getting a little worried that it will be over before we know it with not a lot to show for it. But I'm trying to stay optomistic, and he's been growing out of a few items of clothing, so I'm hoping that's a good sign of a pending growth spurt. We shall see! Thanks!
