        i was casted for my first brace. then that one was too small because my curve was growing extremely rapidly, so he revised my cast without me there, because i live 5 hours away, and he sent it to me. now its good

            i just got my 1st brace about 2 weeks ago. what my doctor did was he made me wear this really long and tight shirt. then he had me stand up and me measured my waist, hips, chest, ect. and he wrote it down on this peice of paper.he then told me to suck in my tummy and then he took this long roll of guaze stuff, got it wet and he wrapped that around me really tight.also b4 he wrapped the guaze stuff around me he had me hold this atrip thing along the front side of my body. he used a couple of rolls and then he had me lay down on a table with my legs curled like a upside down v shape on the table. he told me to lay there for about 10 min. then he took like this saw thing and he cut down on the strip. then he had me pick out a design for my brace and then we left!
