Cranial remolding orthoses are custom-fitted medical devices designed to correct a baby’s head shape by redirecting natural cranial growth.

A cranial remolding orthosis is a lightweight, custom-made helmet used to improve head symmetry in infants or to protect the skull after surgery.

These specialized types of helmets are used to treat:

• Plagiocephaly: An asymmetrical flattening on one side of the back or side of the head, often causing ear or forehead misalignment.
• Brachycephaly: A symmetrical flattening across the back of the head, making the head appear wider than normal.
• Scaphocephaly: A long, narrow head shape, often seen in premature infants or those with sagittal suture concerns.
• Post-surgical support: Used after craniosynostosis surgery to guide the skull’s shape as it heals.
