Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi Jenni My son started his Doc Band at the age of 14 mo and still got pretty good correction. He has before & after pics that C.T. took as a photo study if your are interested in seeing them. They are in the C Folder Mom to CJ Doc Band Graduate 9/2007 > > My son is 11 months and we are going in for our casting/consultation > for the DOCband tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Jenni- I would say you're in good shape. My son was just banded at 17 months. We saw a little bit of correction in one spot the first week. This is only his third week in the band, so I can't speak for final results. But I would say an 8 month jump on our timeline can only benefit, not hinder, the process. Especially if you're going to CT. We chose them over a local StarBand provider because they have tons of experience with older babies. Which location are you going to? Good luck!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I meant a 6 month jump.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 We had our meeting and casting today and Jack will get his band in two weeks. I am nervous about how he will do and what will happen, but I hope all will turn out well. Thanks for all the support and advice.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Just wanted to let you know that I was a late starter with my son. He started at the end of 14 months. They said to expect 0-20% improvement by 2 years old.....we had him scanned yesterday and he is already up to 25% improvement went from 12.2 mm assymetrical to 9.8 mm....so as the orthoist put it...he is by no means symmetrical but he is definetly improving!! Good luck and have hope! -- ---- Jenni Oitker <oitker@...> wrote: We had our meeting and casting today and Jack will get his band in two weeks.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 At your son's age does he not try to remove the DOC band? Are they secured more than the Starband, which can be easily pulled off. My grandson has been in two Starbands, the second one was an ill fit and by the time it was properly adjusted he would just take it off. He is now 15 months old and we are hoping that maybe the DOC band might be the answer. Please anybody out there help with your answers. Any feedback on the Western Chicago location for the DOC band will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Heidrun, Grandma to Aiden On 2/29/08, arod7949 <arod7949@...> wrote: We started at 18.5 months. My son's been in the DOC band for 3 months now and we've seen a lot of improvement. He'll been done in about 3 weeks. While I know we could've seen better results had we known to band earlier, I'm still happy with the results. > > > >> > > > My son is 11 months and we are going in for our > > casting/consultation > > > > for the DOCband tomorrow.
