Every parent wants his baby to have a standard and beautiful head shape, so what is a standard head shape?

Head tilt, commonly known as oblique head deformity or migraine, refers to a multi-dimensional skull deformity caused by external force before or after birth. In addition to beautiful appearance, skull deformity may also cause developmental retardation; Asymmetric ears can cause balance difficulties; Some oblique head deformities can also cause strabismus, narrow vision and even cerebral hernia; Babies with congenital torticollis's disease will have torticollis, which will aggravate the degree of torticollis. In addition, skull deformity is also very likely to cause children to feel inferior.

The medical diagnosis of oblique head deformity can be made 4 ~ 8 weeks after birth. The main treatment methods are posture adjustment and orthopedic helmet treatment. Infants with tilt head deformity less than 3 months are mainly adjusted in posture, and infants with moderate and severe tilt head deformity of 3 ~ 18 months can be corrected with corrective helmet. In fact, since 2000, millions of babies around the world have received helmet orthopedic treatment, and its safety and effectiveness have been fully verified. The clinical research results of orthopedic helmet therapy have been published in a large number of authoritative journals abroad, and many authoritative experts and hospitals in China have done corresponding research and academic publication.
