Stages
How does treatment work?
Helmet therapy
A safe, comfortable process with custom production supported by 3D scanning.
- AssessmentThe baby’s head shape is examined for asymmetry or irregularities.
- 3D scan and designThe head is measured with a 3D scan and a custom helmet model is prepared.
- Production and fittingThe locally made, breathable helmet is fitted and its comfort is checked.
- Regular follow-upRegular check-ups follow the baby’s growth, monitoring fit and progress.
Ear molding
Gentle, painless shaping at an early stage, tailored to your baby’s ear.
- ExaminationThe physician examines the ear and determines the type of deformity.
- PlanningA personal plan is made based on the baby’s age and the degree of deformity.
- Set applicationThe device is placed on the ear and guides the cartilage toward its natural shape.
- Follow-upThe physician checks progress and adjusts the set when needed.
When to start
When to start and how long it takes
Helmet therapy
Treatment is shorter when head growth is still rapid. Treatment starts at 4 months at the earliest; the most effective window is 4–7 months, and the effect decreases after 12 months. Fitted at CranioWell Orthotics & Prosthetics Ankara (Ataşehir branch opening soon).
Starting ageWhat to expect
4–7 monthsMost effective window; usually 3–4 months

12–18 monthsEffect decreases; possible after assessment
The HKM Pro helmet is fitted only at our CranioWell Orthotics & Prosthetics Centers.
Ear molding

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does the ear corrector set work?
The issue is a congenital shape deformity of the ear cartilage. Cartilage is most moldable in the first month; up to the second month, the set guides it toward its natural shape to help correct the deformity.
Who applies the ear corrector set?
The set is applied only by physicians — pediatricians, ENT specialists, family physicians and plastic surgeons can use it. Find the nearest one on our physicians page.
Where is helmet therapy applied?
The HKM Pro cranial helmet is fitted only at our CranioWell Orthotics & Prosthetics Centers (Ankara; Ataşehir opening soon), following a 3D scan assessment. Call us or message us on WhatsApp for an appointment.
What is baby helmet therapy?
Baby helmet therapy uses a custom-made helmet to guide head growth in positional conditions such as plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. At CranioWell, the HKM Pro helmet is prepared from a 3D scan.
Do you offer training for physicians?
Yes. Physicians who want hands-on training in infant ear molding or access to our online courses can contact us.
