How long did treatment take?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

We just had an appointment with Crainial Technologies yesterday and found out

the our daughter has a severe deformation. Our physical therapist had told us

that it was mild to moderate, so this was a little of a shock. Our daughter is

6 months old and we were told that treatment would take 6-8 months. This seems

to be so much longer than all the cases that we were shown. Do they always

estimate high? What was your personal experience?

Thanks,

Hi ,

My daughter had brachy and treatment took 5 mo. Most babies finish in about 3 mo

from what i have seen. If the head is severe it does take a while. Once you

start seeing changes it definitely gets easier. At CT 6-8 mo means 2 bands. Each

band lasts only 16 wks max (and the baby may outgrow it sooner). My daughter

wore a starband and kept the same one until she outgrew it at 5 mo. However i

would still say CT has the best overall reputation, so don't let the 1 vs 2 band

thing scare you off.

You may want to check out the photos area to see babies who look like yours (in

terms of head shape and severity). Or post your pics to get opinions from us. It

is possible that CT is being overly cautious, but also possible that your PT

just didn't see all the problem areas. In the end you never know how long

treatment will take because it relies on how fast your baby's head grows. (my

daughters pics are in Our Plagio Babies S/Sydney M)
