How we work with your child

We keep appointments calm and child-friendly, explain each step in plain language, and involve your child's paediatrician, orthopaedic surgeon, physiotherapist and occupational therapist where needed. Braces are checked and adjusted regularly as your child grows.

What to expect

We assess how your child stands, walks and plays, take measurements, casts or scans, and then fit the brace. We show you how to put it on, how long to wear it and what to look out for on the skin.

Medical aid and funding

We help with medical aid applications and can advise on other funding routes. See how funding works.

Common questions

You do not always need a referral to book an assessment. Some medical aids and funders ask for a doctor's referral or prescription before they pay, so check with your scheme, and bring any letters, X-rays or reports you have.

Children grow in spurts, so devices need regular checks. Many can be adjusted for a while before a new one is needed. We plan reviews around your child's growth and tell you early when a replacement is coming.

It depends on your child's age and the device. Young children are usually seen every few months; older children less often. Come in sooner if the brace leaves red marks that do not fade, or no longer fits in their shoes.

Usually, yes. Most braces are worn at school, and we talk through sport and play for your child's brace. We can provide a letter for the school if it helps.
