Not every baby needs a helmet. In mild cases, repositioning and tummy time are usually sufficient.

What Happens at the First Appointment?

2. 3D scan: The baby’s head is measured with a radiation-free, non-contact 3D scanner. Learn more: what is 3D head scanning?
3. Assessment: Measurement results are shown; whether a helmet is needed and alternatives are explained.
4. Custom manufacturing: If a helmet is needed, it is locally manufactured using the baby’s scan data and fitted.
5. Follow-up: Check-ups are planned throughout treatment; changes in head shape are tracked with re-scanning.

Skull growth is fastest in the first months; the helmet guides this growth. The ideal window is generally 4–7 months months. A helmet may still be possible after 12 months, though the process takes longer. Learn more: helmet therapy after age 1?

Is a Physician Referral Required for Helmet Therapy?

Evet. Kask tedavisine başlamadan önce bir doktor görüşü alınması gerekir. Çocuk doktorunuz veya ilgili uzman, kafa şeklinin pozisyonel mi yoksa başka bir nedene bağlı mı olduğunu değerlendirir. Merkezimiz bu değerlendirmeyi 3D ölçümle destekler.
