Spinal bracing is effective in all age group patients and it is almost indicated to every patient who has a degree of curving depending on the severity and time the patient diagnosed during his/her growth. Bracing is paramount in improving the patient condition, it ameliorate the pain and it decreases the speed of disease progression. The end result of brace treatment is dependent on the extent of the disease and either corrected completely or partially and also depends on the patient compliance to the treatment. Our aim was to analyze and review the articles and literatures on spinal bracing to locate and familiarize ourselves with the types of braces and the effectiveness of each type accordingly. Materials and Methods: The literature has searched for papers on bracing types and effectiveness of each type and long-term outcomes.Results: According to our data, which has collected, we have found that the early detection of scoliosis on the patient the better results was seen with bracing. Moreover, the early starting of treatment is the best option for patients with scoliosis, which end up with the best outcomes. Nevertheless, There are several types of braces available these braces have different biomechanical corrective principles, with varying effectiveness in halting progression of curvatures.Conclusion: Wearing a spinal brace improved postural stability in terms of increased proprioception, equilibrium performance, and rhythmic movement ability in patients with AIS, however, clinical outcomes following treatment of idiopathic scoliosis are strongly linked to curve magnitude.
