How Braces Work Bracing is most effective for children and adolescents whose spines are still growing. The brace applies pressure to specific areas of the spine to prevent the curve from worsening as the child grows. Factors That Influence Effectiveness Age & Growth Stage – Braces work best when worn before skeletal maturity (usually before puberty ends). Curve Severity – Bracing is most effective for moderate curves (typically 20–40 degrees). Brace Type & Fit – Different types of braces (e.g., Boston, Charleston, or TLSO) offer varying levels of effectiveness. Wearing Time – Compliance is key; most braces require 16–23 hours of wear per day for the best results. Individual Response – Some people respond better to bracing than others.
