Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I just have a quick question - i have read many conflicting stories about braces. My question is this: After the casting process is finished and the child's spine is at 0 degrees (or close to it) and the child is then placed into a brace, how long is this brace worn? I have read many different things such as (1) the child wears the brace for 1 year until the spine is strong and the correction is stable again (2) the child wears the brace for 2-3 years (3) the child will wear the brace for many years to come up into his/her adolescence. Which is it??? I know that Abby is months and maybe even a year away from full correction. But, just wanted to know how long the bracing thing lasts afterwards. Thanks. , mom of Abby (17 months) 48* down to 14 degrees in 2nd cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
