Octavian has been in his band for 4 weeks and visually the plagio is gone. We went last week and they widened the gap in the helmet and last night I noticed that the former flat side now is rounded but has popped out more than the 'good' side and its also growing upwards more. The helmet seems totally fixed and almost tight on his head whereas before there were a few mm space all around. I took off his helmet last night and am thinking of keeping it off until tomorrow. If they can cover the top, reverse the gap for a week (fill in the hollow right section and hollow out the left side instead) and then hollow out the entire back for another few weeks it would be ideal). I don't know whether this is done or not. I will have to ask. I just don't want to play the game where we have to play catch-up with altenating sides of the head. He still has brachy and I will be curious to see what the numbers are tomorrow but I could potentially be done with this

right now. Ther results are pretty great. Can anyone comment on the foaming and moving of the hollow part? I know someone has said reglueing stuff is telltale bad. Thanks

I am so glad that you are seeing improvment so fast... you must have caught a good growth spurt!

Were any measurments taken? Or a scan? I'm not sure how the Boston Band does it.

I'm not sure what you are talking about with filling in the top and the hollowed out side.

We started at 6 months. I think he's had a growth spurt.

Well there is a vertical hollowed part in the foam on the right side of the

band(where the head was initially flat) to allow room to grow. This is the

Boston Band that there seems to be debate on whether it's passive or active. I

was just saying that since the right side (former flat side) has surpassed the

left in growth (and now the assymetry is going the other way), I would want them

to fill in this right void in the helmet with foam and carve out a new void on

the left to allow that side to catch up. This is not what happened at

yesterday's visit.

I'll post an update tonight from yesgterday's visit complete with numbers. I'll

post a pic of the augmented helmet too.
