Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Bracenfix?
A: Bracenfix is a non-invasive nail correction system designed to treat ingrown, curved, or deformed toenails. It uses a medical-grade composite applied to the nail plate, which gently guides the nail into a healthier, flatter shape as it grows.
Q: Does Bracenfix hurt?
A: Not at all! The application is completely pain-free. There are no needles, no cutting, and no pressure applied to the nail or surrounding skin.
Q: Who is Bracenfix suitable for?
A: Bracenfix is safe for most people, including diabetics, children, and those with sensitive skin. It’s ideal for anyone experiencing chronic ingrown toenails or uncomfortable nail curvature.
Q: Can I walk or wear shoes after the treatment?
A: Yes! You can return to your normal activities immediately after the appointment. Just avoid tight or narrow footwear that may put pressure on the nail.
Q: How long does the treatment last?
A: The brace typically stays in place for several weeks, depending on how quickly your nails grow. Follow-up appointments are recommended to monitor progress and reapply if needed.
Q: Will I need more than one treatment?
A: In most cases, yes. Depending on the severity of the nail issue, multiple applications over several months may be needed to achieve full correction.
Q: Can I wear nail polish with Bracenfix ?
A: Yes! Once the brace is set, you can apply breathable, non-gel nail polish over the nail.
Q: Is Bracenfix a permanent solution?
A: For many patients, yes. Once the nail grows out in the corrected shape, further treatment may not be necessary. However, ongoing care and proper footwear can help prevent recurrence.
Q: Is Bracenfix covered by insurance?
A: Coverage varies depending on your provider. We recommend checking with your insurer (the relevant code is F334) or speaking with us directly to discuss options.
