This is probably the hardest question to deal with when you have scoliosis or are the family of a scoliosis patient.
We have thought it through A LOT of times, but we ended up deciding that we wanted to give the brace a chance because we couldn't live with the thought that we could make things worse if we didn't choose the brace.
Now I've worn a Boston brace for over a year and we just got new pictures, which said that the degrees was getting worse, despite the fact that I've worn the brace as much as I should. That really makes things difficult, because it's much harder to live with something like that, when you doesn't believe in the effect of it.
But who knows - maybe it would have been worse if I hadn't worn the brace at all? Like you said - it depends on what you mean about the "work". And it also depends on so many other things, that it's hard to see what is working and what isn't.
Just a little contribution and a bit complaining, too
