What is the ideal age for cranial remolding orthosis treatment?
The best age for treatment is between 4 and 7 months when the skull is growing at the fastest rate. However, cranial remolding orthoses can be used successfully between 3 and 18 months of age. Caregivers should try to reposition for at least two months prior to initiating treatment with a cranial remolding orthosis unless the infant is older than 7 months. At this point, infants are able to reposition themselves, and caregiver efforts to reposition are often futile.
