Re: Forehead bossing correction

[Guest guest]

My daughter's forehead showed improvement pretty soon, but I really

don't remember if we could tell in the first 3 weeks (she wore it 5 mo

total). But one thing to pass on from our ortho was that he said the

forehead can continue to improve post-band because as the head changes

from baby->kid the forehead gets a lot higher and this helps with the

bossing.

one know if this takes longer? like the ears?

Hi Kami,

I don't know if it's this way with all helmets, but we have an RHS helmet, and

it seems that

every month the doctor works on a new part of the head, since the helmet works

on a

" negative space " philosophy. Once he made adjustments for the bossing of the

forehead,

we saw an almost complete correction by the next month - but keep in mind that

the

amount of progress you get depends on the amount of growth your child has each

month

- which varies. Be patient - I really have not heard of someone who did not see

any

progress - especially starting at five months! You will be very pleased! Our son

is almost

done and I think his head looks rounder than most kids!

Good Luck,

Kami stay calm, you will see correction. The forehead and other facial issues are the last to correct during the banding. We had DOC band and our son had right front bossing majorly! We were 15 mm off with his measurements. About 9 weeks later we are almost perfect. You will see correction. Be positive and be excited. You are doing great by using Cranial TEch and it will all work out.
