Craniosynostosis cannot be treated directly with a cranial remolding orthosis. However, following corrective surgery to relieve the craniosynostosis, a cranial remolding orthosis may be used once the affected suture(s) has been removed. Uncontrolled hydrocephalus is also a contraindication due to excessive volume changes.
