Guest guest Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 There are tons of success stories to share with you here. My daughter had brachy which is basically the same, but with a different shape - flat across the back with extra width. She go her band at 5 mo old and got a lot of correction, although her head isn't perfect. Since you're starting at a young age you should start to see improvement quickly. One thing to be aware of is that if the plagio is severe you may need a second docband in a few months. However you still have lots of time to see it work. welcome to the group. -christine sydney, 4.5 yrs, starband grad > > Hi everyone. My wife and I just joined this group as our 5 month old son has a pretty flat head and he just received his band today. I hope it works and it will be off in 2 or 3 months. > > Has anyone else had any severe plagiocephaly which they had fixed through the use of the band? just wondering. > > thanks!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 My daughter had severe plagio. She started at 14mm asymetrical and since we started so late (8months) they figured she may only get 50% improval so like 7mm. In one month she surpassed that and got to a 5, last month she was at a 4...and at today's final appointment im confident we will see a measurement of a 2 or a 3! She looks a thousand times better! Not only did she improve way beyond what they said she would she also did it in nearly half the time! Im so glad we did this for her! No regrets whatsoever!if you're looking for decorating ideas/products I have set up a really cute website www.StylinBabyHelmets.com Good Luck!! >> Hi everyone.
