Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 We just took my son to Cranial Tech last week. He had flattening on his left side b/c he favored it when he was younger, my pediatrician said that it would fill out etc. and it did quite a bit but not completely. It never really bothered me but my husband pointed out how his left ear was closer to his face than his right so I brought this up to the pediatrician and she said she felt it wasn't a big deal and would work itself out but gave us a referral to Cranial Tech just for comfort. We went and the photostudy showed that he had right frontal flattening; left occipital flattening; right eye fissure narrowed; increased head height on the left; unleveling of the ears... They said that he had " moderate " plagio and was an " excellent candidate " for the band. We are really torn about this. The before and afters they showed us didn't look like there were dramatic changes and she even said he would likely only go from moderate to mild and his ears would only change slightly. We're wondering if this is worth 4+ months of his life in a band. Anyone have a similar experience? Our insurance will likely pay for this so the money isn't an issue... Thanks in advance for any advice!! Mom to Luke, 10 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
