DOC Band Grad & CI went from 100 to 86!

June 18, 2010

The last month or so has been so crazy that I completely forgot to share with

the group that my son, , graduated from his 2nd DOC Band at the end of

April. He had severe brachycephaly but his cephalic index went from 100% (+5.3

SD) to 86% (+1.2 SD)!

He started treatment at 4.25 months old on 12/23/09 and ended at 8.25 months old

on 4/30/10. He spent 8 weeks in each band with an 11 day lapse between the two.

He also had mild plagio and the CVA went from 6mm to 2mm. His Mid-Face Asymmetry

went from 2mm to 0 and Skull-Base Asymmetry went from 3 mm to 1.

Here are links to his final photo study (from my Picasa web album).

In the 8 weeks since his graduation, visually his head shape has improved

further. I'm thrilled with how he looks and don't regret getting the DOC Bands

for a second. I paid for both out of pocket since CT was " out of network " with

United HealthCare (and I didn't fight too hard). I went to the Paramus, NJ

location and saw for almost all of 's adjustments.
