Treatment of skull deformities in babies
Experts in diagnosis and treatment of skull deformities in infants. More than 35 years of experience and more than 4,200 successfully treated cases.
What are the main skull deformities?
- Plagiocephaly, the most frequent deformity which is characterized by by flattening usually on the right or left side of the back of the skull.
- Brachycephaly, this deformity usually flattens the entire back of the skull.
- Scaphocephaly, a fairly common deformity in premature infants that results in a tall, narrow skull.
- Craniosynostosis, cranial deformities due to poor closure of a cranial suture.
- Other cranial deformities caused by disease, tumors or trauma.
- Complex deformities, in which several simple deformities are added: brachiocephaly+scalocephaly,…obstetric deformities, and
other variants.

If you want to know more about how to identify if your baby has brachycephaly, plagiocephaly or scaphocephaly , this guide will help you distinguish the main distinguishing features of these cranial deformities.
You're not alone.
Today, almost one in two babies (47%) is affected by some form of plagiocephaly. Fortunately, it is treatable. All information on prevention.
Our team offers you the experience and knowledge to carry out the most appropriate diagnosis and treatment for the degree of deformation or malformation of your child.
Since 1974 we have successfully treated hundreds of cases of plagiocephaly , brachycephaly , scaphocephaly and other deformities .
Not all orthopaedic helmets are the same
Doc Band® is an orthopaedic helmet that has been scientifically proven to be effective. Here are the scientific articles:
- Helmet treatment of infants with deformational brachycephaly
- Treatment of positional plagiocephaly by dynamic orthopaedic cranioplasty
- Treatment of craniofacial asymmetry by dynamic orthopaedic cranioplasty
In addition, Dr Pinyot and his team have more than 35 years of experience and have treated over 4.200 cases of skull deformities.
The treatment of cranial deformities with the linear elastic orthopedic DOC Band® was initiated in the United States in 1976 and since then more than 300,000 cases of infants with plagiocephaly and other cranial deformities have been successfully treated worldwide.
Our team is part of Cranial Technologies Inc. since 1988 when we opened 2 centers in Spain to provide solutions to cranial deformities and malformations of babies in our country.
