Repositioning can work on its own - but doesn't always. I'm not sure
why but some succeed and other don't. It is a good idea to take pics
that show the plagio every 2 weeks, and see if you're making progress.
If you don't see improvement, then it isn't working. There are several
moms on board who have done successful repo including Becky (one of
the moderators) and Angie. There are other moms who tried it without
improvement.
Our doc (cranial facial plastic surgeon) recommends banding at 10mm or
above, so by that criteria you're borderline. However some band at
lower numbers(8). There are repo tips in the files section of the
group. You do still have some time to decide, but you would be fine
deciding to band now too.
take care. -christine
