Re: Any happy Starband customers?

[Guest guest]

We had a Starband and were very pleased.

I think there are lots of other happy Starband people here, although I agree

that lately we've heard more about the Doc band. My understanding is that the

competence of orthotists working with the Starband may be more variable, so it's

good that you checked references.

Anyway, my son went from 11mm asymmetry to 0mm in 2.5 months. There was even a

noticeable difference in the first week and at 2 weeks he was down to 7mm, as I

recall. He was 6 months old when he started. We didn't have any significant

problems with fitting or with rashes, etc.

Good luck!

additional info from Starband parents out there would be helpful.

My daughter, Kate, got her Starband a week ago and so far we are very pleased.

We have not had any issues with rashes and my husband and I both feel that we

already see a small improvement in her head shape. I am very curious to follow

up tomorrow and see if her measurements have changed. I too was starting to

think there weren't many Starbands out there!

My daughter got her Starband in November and wore it until April. She got great

correction, went from 12mm plagio to 5 mm. The only reason we stopped there is

she was 14 months old and we didn't think we'd get much more correction in

another month of wearing it.

We had a great experience with the Starband and our ortho and I would do it

again in a heartbeat! When you are in the middle of it, it seems like such an

ordeal. But looking back on it even though she only graduated 5 months ago, it

seems like a lifetime ago! Good luck!
