How often will my infant need to see the orthotist for follow-up and/or adjustments?
Frequency of follow-up visits usually depends on the severity of the initial head shape, age of the infant, and individual treatment protocols of the local orthotist. Typically, the infant is seen a week after the initial fitting and approximately every 2 to 3 weeks thereafter, throughout the course of the treatment program. Younger infants may require more frequent follow up appointments since their heads are growing so rapidly.
