My daughter is 12.6 yrs. old. She has an s-shaped curve with each measuring at 30 degrees. She has been wearing a boston brace faithfully for 1 and a 1/2 years. She has grown almost 4 inches and is now 5ft.2" tall. Since wearing the brace, both curves have been maintained. At our orthopedpic appt. last week,our doctor said from looking at xrays and by the way the cartilidge is closing in,a growth spurt is evident and this next stage of growing is most critical. If there is anyone who could enlighten me if they have gone through or are going through a similar situation thus far,in wearing the brace compliantly, and whether or not the brace continued to maintain the curves in this final stage, your response would greatly be appreciated! Thankyou, Fran
