Why Nocturnal Bracing Changes Everything
Freedom That Drives Compliance
Unlike full-time bracing that demands 23 hours of daily wear, the Providence requires only 10-12 hours at night (up to 16 for juvenile patients). This fundamental difference transforms the treatment experience:
For Patients:
- No brace at school—no social stigma
- Full daytime mobility for sports and activities
- Easier adjustment period = higher long-term compliance
- Better quality of life throughout treatment
The Compliance Advantage: Since patients only wear the brace while sleeping and during relaxed supine activities like homework or watching TV, the barrier to entry is dramatically lower. Research shows patients find nocturnal bracing significantly easier to adopt, eliminating the physical discomfort and social isolation many describe with full-time bracing.
Clinical Excellence You Can Measure
The Providence achieves 98% initial in-brace correction—compared to just 56% for full-time braces. That's a 42% differential that makes a dramatic difference in outcomes.
How It Works:
- Hyper-corrective design maximizes correction up to 98-115% during optimal growth hours
- Works with elevated Human Growth Hormone levels at night (peak between midnight-2am)
- Direct lateral and de-rotational forces target curve apices without gravity interference
- Can treat curves with apices as high as T6—higher than full-time braces can address
Proven Results: A 2019 European Spine Journal study of 124 patients reported an 89% success rate, proving Providence effective even for curves larger than 35°.
