Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 hi, my husband and i went to cranial tech and and a starband appointment this week and we decided that we liked the starband office and dr's better and are going with that...we get the starband next friday...i was wondering how easily did your child adjust to wearing it (or didnt adjust easily) and how long did they wear? my daughter measured at 10.9 mm and her one ear is shifting a little and her forehead is starting to boss a little. she will be 5 months 2days after she starts wearing it...they said we are starting at a good age but cant really give us a time frame for how long the process will be until she starts wearing it and we see her progress. I am very comfortable with who we are working with (i had a friend who used him and her son had closer to sever case and his results were great after 4 months) just looking for some other experiences as well thanks, carly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Carly - My daughter had moderate right plagio at 11mm and we were in the STARband for 6 weeks before we hit 0mm diff! They had told us to anticipate 2-4 months when we started when she was 5.5 months old. But, she hit a few good growth spurts while in the helmet and the time flew by! We have absolutley no complaints with the STARband, our orthotist was wonderful! He had only a few years of experience, but does several bands per week and was obviously well trained. As long as you have a good orthotist, I think the STARband is an excellent product. Good luck!
