Monitoring

The child is brought back to the office after wearing the brace for 2 to 3 weeks. This is to assess the brace to identify any wear issues and to answer any questions. The patient is then monitored every 3 to 6 months, until 3 to 4 years of age, to monitor compliance and identify any relapse. The child is then monitored every 1 to 2 years until reaching skeletal maturity.
