It would be almost true if we were talking about rigid braces. With Spinecor would be probably the same if was not reduction in brace, otherwise sure after using it, muscles should to be stronger and is very probably a significant bone remodeling, that is what led to use Vbt in adults too. Also the neuromuscular system is accustomed to the new stretched posture and will try to keep it.
Anyway you may be believe that the curve will return, surely is not possible to predict it, but nobdy may say thay it is not reasonable to prove it.
A surgeon invented the Spinecor brace.
