A schedule for wearing your brace
Gradually increase the amount of time per day you wear your brace. Generally, it takes about a week until you can wear your brace full-time or up to the length of a normal school day.
The following program is designed to help your skin and muscles adjust to wearing the brace:
| Day 1 |
| Wear your brace up for two hours on followed by one hour off for a total wearing time of 6 hours per day. |
| Day 2 |
| Increase wear to a total of 8 hours per day. |
| Put the brace on for 4 hours. Remove the brace, check your skin, and rub with alcohol. If your skin is just pink, re-apply the brace for 4 hours. |
| Repeat up to a total of 8 hours wearing time. Remove and check your skin. Try to increase the time you wear the brace each day. |
| Day 3 |
| Wear the brace for a total of up to 12 hours daily. Apply the brace for 4 hours, take the brace off and check your skin and rub with alcohol. Put the brace back on. |
