[quote=Anonymous]My child wears night braces for a different reason. A few things I have observed: 1. When they say that children's knock knees are most pronounced at between ages 2 and 3 and it will probably correct it self by age 3 1/2, they are right. 2. Physical Therapy with a good PT makes a huge difference. 3. Starting night braces on an older child can be really difficult. My DS started his at 2 YOs and his dr cautioned that it might be really challenging. It was a bit difficult at 1st - but we stayed focused and made it work as the alternative for us was surgery. My DS is now almost 4 YO and is scheduled to wear his night braces for another year. It gets harder as he now has the ability to undo the buckles and will occasionally take them off.[/quote]
