                        Dear Lori,  Thanks for your reply.  My 13 yr. old has a 30 degree from T 11 to L 4 and a compensatory curve at T 5 to T12.  She wears her Boston brace 20 hours  a day, even to school, which has been hard.  However she is terrified of surgery which has made her compliance better.  We have done a great deal of research and are getting her fitted with a Spincor brace.  (check it out www.biorthex.com) which is dynamic rather than rigid and we hope will have even better results with less emmotional traumma.  Please e mail me at fitgirl@cre8v.com and we can compare notes.  Thanks and good luck to your little one also!
