Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I would keep it on the next 6 weeks. 's head continued to get worse after 7 months. Besides, a little lower than 3.6mm won't hurt. There also could be measurement error so you could really be still above 4mm. My husband told me the ortho said with these low of numbers there could be up to 1mm measurement error. tandtc wrote: Anyone? I would certainly appreciate any input on when 'enough is enough.'

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think I would keep the band on a bit longer if its not bothering your daughter or you. I am actually having a similar dilema, my son corrected pretty quickly, to get close to normal range, then seemed to not grow much for a while, so basically I started to feel like well he is good enough, though I have concerns about possible regression since he is sleeping on his back and still favoring that side. so I have been leaving it off, then I will suddenly think , oh his head doesn't look very good, I better put it back on,(still fits) so I've been doing this back and forth the last couple weeks. I wish I had just left it on maybe he would have been even better by now! ugh! so its been frustrating to feel like we're done and then feel like maybe not, so thats why I reccomend leaving it on till you are satisfied and then just be done! :-)le 9mos Anyone? I would certainly appreciate any input on when 'enough is enough.' Thanks again!
