That is correct - Lily started the band at 10 months old. CT estimated she'd need it for 12 weeks - but she only actually needed to wear it for a total of 10 weeks. We were done by the time she was 13 months. We would have been willing to do a 2nd band had it been necessary - b/c apart from the casting the process was so easy and Lily actually liked her helmet (she had a hard time letting it go when we were done!) - but it turned out they got huge correction from the first band.Good luck, and feel free to email me directly with any questions about paramus CT. alinyc1270@...Best,ali
