Hi, everyone. My 12 year old daughter with JIS (35T/30L) wears a Boston brace. After 3 years, we are learning that it is not holding her curves. I've been advised that Providence might be better so I'm trying to locate a doctor who has experience with both. (But that's a different thread...)
In this thread, I'm interested in hearing from parents of kids who have worn both kinds of braces. How do they compare - ease-of-fit, ease-of-getting-used-to, ongoing comfort, effectiveness in curve holding, outcome post-bracing...
Since Boston isn't holding her curves, it seems that the medical community is really on thin ice without hard data on what effective alternatives to offer. So it's a crap-shoot...
Thanks to all who respond!
