A) Brace design using the CAD software for Standard brace or Newbrace; B) Simulation of the brace installation; B1) Simulation of the spine correction; B2) Simulation of the applied pressures; B3) Simulation of the distance between the brace shell and the patient's skin (the blue color represents the material in contact with the patient's skin and the green, yellow, orange and red colors represent the brace material situated at more than 6 mm of the patient's skin); B4) Simulated pressures on epiphyseal growth plates; C) Brace fabrication using CAM milling system
