How does the Boston Brace 3D compare to the Rigo-Cheneau?

The Boston Brace 3D has a number of advantages over the Cheneau brace:

• The Boston Brace 3D is simpler to measure and manufacture so turnaround time is far superior
• It has a lower profile so it's less likely to be noticed under clothes
• The Boston Brace 3D costs a fraction of the Cheneau brace, and in nearly all cases is covered by insurance; on the other hand the Cheneau brace is rarely covered by insurance, which means a patient will have a significant bill
• All Boston Brace 3Ds are made in the USA

As our knowledge of scoliosis improves, we are seeing many of the various brace designs merging more and more. Some of the early designs attempted to do what we are able to achieve through CAD. Cheneau too has large expansion areas. Many are hand modified or do a combination of CAD and hand modifications. The Boston Brace 3D is fabricated in CAD from a scan of the patient. We follow blueprinting principles rather than a classification system.
