Linda, I wasn't specifically arguing against bracing (at least not in this instance) ... only that the emotional impact of bracing isn't something to be minimized. That's the way I perceived the original post ... and yes, I'm in the group that's probably what can be grossly understated as "a little touchy" in that regard.
You clipped out the part of my post that referred to Milwaukees and Bostons with superstructures: I'm not sure that I understand what you meant by "... don't think that's correct", and/or I was what I was saying was clear. I didn't mean they weren't bracing, period - only that those two particular (Milwaukees and BwSS) aren't commonly used these days.
They are - or were as recently as 3-4 years ago (if that), however - still used in some circumstances. A friend's daughter was stapled for a high thoracic curve (up to T2, I think). Prior to that, I'm almost sure she was wearing a Milwaukee because of the extremely high apex.
Mariaf, am I remembering incorrectly, or didn't Lorena have one?
