How often will my child need a new scoliosis brace?

This depends on growth! Our primary objective is to keep the child in a brace that fits and functions well. The patient will follow up with their orthotist at regular intervals (usually in conjunction with orthopedic MD follow-ups), at which point the fit of the brace will be assessed. The typical lifespan of a scoliosis brace is 12 to 18 months, but the brace may last for a longer or shorter time period based on growth.
