NAIL Bracing

This non surgical technique helps correct the pathological shape of curved or involuted nails, as shown in the picture. This stops the nail from digging into the skin causing pain from ingrowing.

The process involves mounting a German made fibreglass brace to the affected curved nail. The brace creates spring tension that gently lifts and holds the nail continuously to straighten it over time. For severe cases this can take several months, but can create fantastic results!

This differs to wire braces as we do not need to hook or cut anywhere under the nail at the side. This makes the treatment less painful and intrusive whilst yielding similar or better outcomes!
