Wanting to take Starband off early

My son has had his Starband of for almost 13 weeks now. They are very happy with

the results, but they said he needs a little fine tuning. My husband is

convinced that it has been on incorretly the entire time. It covers one ear and

they told us the ear would move backwards in the whole where the ear goes.

Well...that hasn't happened and we actually notice that that ear does not stick

out as far now! We also noticed that one side of the helmet squishes his cheek

in more and his eye looks squished. They told us that his face isn't growing now

and it should be fine. Well we also noticed that that side of his face isn't as

full as the other one! We are scheduled to get the helmet off on Monday

possibly, but my husband made me call to get an appointment on Thursday to get

it off. He's over it and thinks it isn't good for our son. I have always heard

good things about Star Cranial in Columbia MD and have trusted the

Orthotist there. Does this sound like something that is normal? I was also told

by the nurse at our doctor that his face will fill out on that side so not to

worry. They also want to take it off before he's perfectly symetrical on the

flat side and said it would " fill out " . Is this also true? He was at 92% last

time we went which was almost 2 weeks ago. I'm so confused and don't know what

the right thing to do is.
