How should Orthomerica orthoses fit on my babys head?
During the first two weeks of orthotic treatment, the cranial orthosis may shift around on your baby’s head, especially if your baby has a head shape that is asymmetrical. While this may require the caregivers to frequently reposition the band, rotation is not unusual during this early treatment time as the asymmetrical head adjusts to the more symmetrical shape of the cranial orthosis. The orthosis may require an adjustment earlier than your scheduled appointment if the band rotates and blocks vision, rubs against either ear of if you notice skin problems. Contact your orthotist with any questions or concerns any time during the treatment process. After two weeks of 23 hour wearing time, any rotation should be minimal.
