Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DOC Band?

The DOC Band, a 6-ounce device, consists of an outer plastic shell with a foam lining. Each DOC Band is different and made specifically for each child by the experienced Cranial Technologies manufacturing team in Tempe, Arizona.

How does the DOC Band work?

Basically, the DOC Band helps reshape your baby’s head by capturing their brain growth. To capture the growth, the DOC Band applies mild holding pressures to the areas of prominence ( such as a high forehead, bumps above the ears, bulging on one side of the head, etc. ) and encourages growth in the flattened areas of your child’s head. Each band will be different depending on the child and the primary head deformities they exhibit ( plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, scaphocephaly ).

What is a band Wrap?

A band Wrap is a graphic printed on a pressure sensitive vinyl material, laminated and installed on the child’s band. Basically, it is a big sticker that is carefully applied.
