Are there different kinds of cranial remolding orthoses?
Yes, there are different styles of cranial remolding orthoses. You may see pictures of various designs that are made with different kinds of plastic materials, with or without soft liners, with or without straps, with different colors or patterns, and with or without ventilation holes. Essentially, all cranial remolding orthoses work in a similar manner by directing growth of the infant’s head into a more symmetrical or proportionate shape. Currently, Orthomerica offers the widest variety of designs, including the STARband, STARlight (band, cap, and bivalve), and Clarren Helmet.
