If there is anyone out there who could tell me how long I might have to wear my brace, that would a big help. My curve is 32 degrees and I am 11. My doctor didn't say how long I was going to have to wear it, so I'd really like to know! Thankz!

How Long?
Listen my child to this story of dreams
~:~ For the beginning is more difficult than it seems
When the ten daughters are reunited in order
~:~ When the four sided box loses it's border
When eye of the pheonix is in your hand
~:~ When the bird of fire can see again
When the moon sleeps and the sun plays
~:~ When the king of the sky shines his ray
Underneath a river of colors
~:~Lies a gate to golden wonders

Most people wear their brace until after they are done growing. A good rule of thumb is that most girls continue to grow for up to 2 years after they start their menstrual cycle. One of the most important times to wear your brace as prescribed, is when you are in a growing spurt because as you grow, you spine also grows and can change.

Mary Lou is right. But did you mean how many hours a day? Wear it as much as you can, of course. Whatever works for you in your schedual. This is really a question mostly appropraite for your doctor. Maybe you can call, or wear the brace as much as possible and then ask him on your next visit?> Diagnosed at age 4
> Braced at age 5
> 35 degree curve somewhere, sounds funny but yes, I forget where...
