Abstract
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) represents the most frequent tridimensional spinal deformity. Progression of curves is linked mainly to the rapid growth around puberty. The natural history can lead to large spinal and thoracic deformities, which could impose surgical treatments. In that specific adolescent period it is possible with very accurate treatments to alt curves progression. In this chapter we describe the different types of braces used worldwide their indications, technical applications, results and failures.
