Frequently Asked Questions
-
Research estimates that more than 3% of newborn babies have a severe or very severe head shape deformity. Up to 50% have a mild or medium deformity. Speak to your pediatrician, or you can visit Sano Orthotics for a consultation.
-
Cranial Remolding Orthoses are intended for medical purposes for infants from 3 to 18 months of age with moderate-to-severe cranial deformities
-
The duration of treatment varies. It depends on how old the child was when the treatment began and how quickly he/she is growing. Children younger than 12 months often complete the treatment within 4–6 months.
-
The Cranial Remolding Orthosis has contact with the head in the prominent regions and a precisely pre-defined internal space in the areas where flattening occurs. When wearing the orthosis, the head is only allowed to physiologically grow in the predefined space of the Cranial Orthosis, which improves the cranial symmetry and/or physiological shape.
-
It depends, but usually there is already very apparent improvement after only two weeks of wearing (First Checkup). The greatest skull growth occurs in the first months of wearing the orthosis.
-
After taking the orthosis off, if you do not see any red spots on your baby‘s head, or if these spots disappear within the 1-hour daily treatment break, the orthosis is fitting correctly and suitable for wearing.
