Are some babies more at risk than others? research shows that head shape deformity is most common in babies who: • are born prematurely or are a twin or a triplet. • have had an assisted birth (forceps or ventouse). • have limited ability to turn their head due to a torticollis. What is timband treatment? is it safe? yes. this treatment for plagiocephaly involves wearing a lightweight helmet that allows the head to grow back to a more normal shape. each timband is made especially for your baby using a photographic scan, which accurately takes all necessary information quickly and safely. as the head grows, the timband helmet gently allows the head to grow back into a normal shape, ensuring a safe, gentle and permanent correction.
