The 3D CAD CAM brace is a conservative treatment option for scoliosis. Using 3D body scanning technology, our ABC Certified Orthotist uses the on-site Hey Clinic brace fabrication lab to create custom, light-weight Rigo-Cheneau style braces.

The 3D CAD CAM brace addresses not only the Cobb angle of a curve, but also the rotation of the spine by applying pressure to certain areas of the spine, while also having expansion areas to allow for de-rotating and corrective forces.

3D CAD CAM Brace Fabrication Process

1. A scan, measurements, and photos are taken to create a 3D CAD CAM design based on curve presentation and necessary applied forces, using Rigo-Cheneau brace principles.

2. A model is readied for the carver.

3. The model is carved, the plastic is heated, the transfer pattern is added and the plastic is pulled under vacuum.

4. The final 3D CAD CAM brace is finished and we begin the fitting process with the patient.
