Example of a patient with an initial overcorrection in a Chêneau light brace. Overcorrection of a thoracic curve from 33° to -12° in a 3CL „Chêneau light" model in an 11-year old boy. The boy had been corrected to 12° without the brace on, however the boy did not comply in the end. This is why the end-result was 26°, still better than at the start of treatment.
