Re: What's the best a helmet can do?

[Guest guest]

You can go to a new ortho. Mormal is more like 78 to 79. Our specialist (cranial

facial plastic surgeon) recommaneds banding at 90% or above. That makes 89%

borderline - not normal. I wanted to quit when my daughter was about 87% and my

specialist strongly encouraged me to continue to get as low as I could. I got to

about 85%, and it did make a difference. From the RSI it seems the symmetry is

improved, but that doesn't reflect anything regarding the brachy (only the

plagio). Also sounds like you don't think his head looks more symmetric.

You really need to find a new ortho. Where do you live?

doesn't really need a helmet. His CI was 92 percent which qualified him. He

originally told me his assymetry was 6mm and the last time he told me it was

..10, which makes no sense if I still notice one ear pushed more forward in pics

and when I look at him. He has been in a helmet for 7 weeks and I notice no

difference at all. I'm so frustrated. He goes for a scan tomorrow and I know he

is going to brush me off like the last time. What should I do? Do u think the

helmet could still help him or is his condition too minimal? Has anyone gotten

better results?
