Can babies wear the Boston Band only at night; does it have to be 23 hours per day?
The Boston Band works to re-direct growth; we don’t know exactly when the child will grow so the more it is on, the better opportunity we have to capture growth. If a child only wears the Boston Band at night, we may miss out on growth that occurs during the day. If significant growth is missed, it can lead to a poor fit, and follow-up may be needed sooner and overall treatment time may increase.
