Plagiocephaly, also known as flat head syndrome in infants, refers to an asymmetric or flattened shape of the baby’s head. After birth, the child’s head is very soft and therefore susceptible to reshaping due to external pressures, which can lead to flattened areas.
Despite the best parental care, it can occur before, during, or after birth. It may result from the position in the womb or if the infant spends a lot of time on their back. Although it is mostly an aesthetic change, it is important to address it as well.
The condition often improves with self-correction, i.e., frequent position changes to allow the head to grow as evenly as possible. In some cases of flat head or with moderately to severely pronounced flat areas, the condition cannot improve with these measures alone, and correction with controlled external forces—a corrective helmet—is required.
Corrective Helmet
The helmet works by applying gentle pressure to specific areas of the head. The skull bones follow the growth of the brain into the natural head shape. In cases of flattening, the helmet helps redirect growth toward the flattened areas.
The helmet provides a tight, rounded space for the head to grow. Even if your child continues to put pressure on one side of their head, the helmet will offer support to prevent further flattening of the head. In cases of flattening, the helmet helps redirect growth toward the flattened areas. It is effective and, above all, safe for your little one.
This correction method is standard practice at reputable pediatric clinics worldwide and is an established treatment because it has proven successful.
