Re: temporal side leaving a dent??? Opinions please???

[Guest guest]

Not sure what you are describing. Is the dent from the " sideburn " of the band?

Some people do get a dent from this, but I haven't heard convincingly if it goes

away or not. We had a starband, but didn't experience this.

If you look in the pictures under alex indent, it's not too far into the a's.

It looks just like that. I've searched and searched and not found any info on

whether it fills back in. It is from the bottom of the sideburn pushing in.

Our child had an indent on her forehead that the orthotist said was " soft

tissue " related (e.g. indents on your leg from wearing a tight sock) and would

go away after the treatment was finished.

That was 10 months ago. The indent is still there. We're trying to figure out

what to do.

Our son had some soft tissue dents from his helmet, and they all went away very

quickly, but his helmet always fit very well. He never got red spots or

irritation. I'd ask the ortho to shave a little if possible to reduce the

indent.

I hope you find an answer, and are able to get the dent to resolve.

We have shaved some since then. So far no changes. It isn't getting worse so

that's good. A neurologist has looked at him and agrees that it will fill in.

I hope he's right!

Thanks
