Read moreHelmet therapy is used to gently correct the shape of the skull of babies over time. Newborn baby skulls are soft plates with spaces between them. As the baby grows, these plates gradually grow, harden and coalesce.
If your child is diagnosed with deformational plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, or scaphocephaly and is less than 12 months old, a cranial reshaping may be prescribed to correct the shape of the baby's head. Helmets must be prescribed by a licensed physician.
Cranial reshaping helmets are usually made of a hard outer shell with a foam lining. Gentle and persistent pressure is applied to capture the natural growth of a baby's head while inhibiting growth in prominent areas and allowing growth in flat regions.
Yes. The idea behind the helmet is that it is worn 23 hours a day. It can be removed during bathing. The rest of the time, your baby should be constantly in the helmet, whether it be playing, sleeping or feeding. This can be shocking to hear as a parent, as you think of your baby spending his forming months wearing a helmet.
The average treatment with a helmet is usually three months, but the length of treatment will depend on the age of your child and the severity of the condition. Frequent and careful monitoring is required to ensure that the skull is reshaping itself properly.
The frequency of follow-up visits depends on the severity of the baby's condition. While a shaping helmet is being fitted on your baby and adjustments are being made, you will make several regular visits to the company that supplies the helmet. On average visits are scheduled every 3 weeks.
If you would like to know the severity of your baby's condition, you can schedule an appointment to receive a free head evaluation and thus assess the urgency of using a corrective helmet.
It is usually best to start at an early age. However, time should not be the main concern. Instead, it is more important that your child has the help he needs.
