Re: can a headband be too tight?

[Guest guest]

Yes, a band that is too tight will force the head to take the path of least

resistance, which is upward out of the hole on top. A ridge will form in the

shape of the hole. So it's really important to get them adjusted timely, or

remove the band until you can get in for an appointment if you suspect it's too

tight.

Can the sutures be squeezed up to form a ridge? or a bump might be formed due to

that there wasn't enough space under the headband?? Thank you.

I just wanted to say I agree with on this one. Too tight is definitely

bad, and can cause a ridge at the top.
