What Is a Cranial Helmet?
A cranial helmet, also known as a cranial orthosis, is a custom-made medical device that gently reshapes an infant's skull over time — without force or pressure.
Since an infant's skull is soft and rapidly developing, early intervention allows for highly effective correction. The helmet works by guiding natural growth — not applying pressure — making it a safe, comfortable, and clinically proven solution.
Allows Growth Where Needed
Creates space in flatter or restricted areas so the skull can grow naturally toward symmetry.
Controls Prominent Areas
Gently limits growth in more protruding areas to balance the overall head shape.
Custom 3D-Scanned Fit
Every helmet at EDREES Medical is precision-designed using advanced 3D scanning for your baby's unique head shape.
Common Conditions We Correct
Cranial helmet therapy is recommended for several head shape conditions that are common in early infant development.
Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome)
Flattening on one side of the head, often accompanied by facial asymmetry. The most common condition treated with cranial helmet therapy.
Brachycephaly
Flattening at the back of the head resulting in a wider, rounder head shape. Often develops when babies spend extended time lying on their backs.
Scaphocephaly
A longer, narrow head shape caused by restricted growth in width. The helmet guides symmetrical expansion for a more balanced profile.
Signs Your Baby May Need a Cranial Helmet
Early assessment makes a significant difference. Look out for these indicators in your baby's first months.
When Is the Right Time for Treatment?
Timing is everything. The infant skull grows rapidly in the first year, making early intervention critical for the best outcomes.
From 4 Months — Ideal Start
The ideal treatment window begins at 4 months, when the skull is still highly malleable and correction is most effective.
85% of Skull Growth by Year 1
The vast majority of cranial development happens in the first 12 months — acting early maximises results.
Up to 12 Months — Optimal Window
The primary treatment window closes around 12 months. Treatment started here still yields excellent outcomes.
Up to 18 Months — Case by Case
Treatment may still be beneficial up to 18 months depending on severity. Clinical evaluation determines suitability.
How Cranial Helmet Therapy Works
The helmet does not apply force. Instead, it works with your baby's natural growth to guide the skull toward a balanced, symmetrical shape.
Natural Growth Guidance
As your baby's brain and skull grow, the helmet provides a shaped environment that encourages symmetrical development.
Space Where It's Needed
The helmet creates open space in flatter areas, allowing the skull to grow outward and fill the gap gradually.
Limits Prominent Growth
In areas that protrude, the helmet gently limits outward expansion — balancing the two sides over time.
