An orthosis (10) for correcting deformities in the head shape of babies and young children includes a mesh layer (20). The mesh layer (30) includes regions of varying stiffness in the mesh layer that are adapted to apply varying pressure to a wearer's head, so as to restrict undesirable growth and allow desired growth to correct the deformities. Accordingly, the mesh layer (30) provides a layer of uniform thickness but variable stiffness, so that a lightweight means of applying appropriate pressure to the wearer's head is provided. The mesh layer (30) can be manufacturer by 3D printing, based on a scan of the wearer's head.

A headband with one or more protective inserts. The inserts may be strategically positioned to provide protection for specific areas of a person's head that are most vulnerable to impact, depending on the sport or other activity. The inserts may be directly attached to the headband, or may be enclosed in pouches which are directly attached to the headband. The headband may be worn with or without additional headgear, and may be configured to cooperate with the additional headgear as to form, fit, and functionality.
