Cranial Banding
Also called an orthosis, a cranial band helps to reshape a child's skull, encouraging growth in the desired direction. Ideal candidates for cranial banding are children, usually between the ages of three to 18 months, with abnormal head shape. Abnormal head shapes that are treatable with banding can be caused by a variety of factors including premature birth, restrictive intrauterine positioning, cervical abnormalities and preferential sleeping positions.
