Investigating the optimal usage time of helmet therapy is the aim of the study. Participants will be babies with deformational plagiocephaly. Plagiocephalometric assesments will be utilize to follow improvement of head symmetry. Scales asking sensational integration and severity of plagiocephaly will also be used. Time of daily usage will be follow with daily asking the caregivers how long the baby wear the helmet in a day. Participants will follow for three months.

Time of daily usage will be follow with daily asking the caregivers how long the baby wear the helmet in a day. Participants will follow for three months. After the follow period completed, participants will be allocated two groups; avarage using 15-18 hours a day and avarage using 19-23 hours a day. Results will be compared for the two groups and correlation between the time of usage and cranial symmetry will be compare.
