While ingrown toenail surgery has a very high success rate to get rid of them long-term, it may not be the treatment of choice for everyone. Needle phobia, the time required to heal, breastfeeding (use of local anesthetics) and risk of infection (in particular in diabetes), can all influence the treatment decision.

How does Nail Bracing work?

Nail Bracing is applied on top of the nail and positioned in place by a Podiatrist. This can be using a 'composite' or 'wired'  brace, depending on individual need. Once positioned Nail Bracing is then set using the bracing light. This enables the nail to regrow in its natural shape and alignment as the nail grows out. Nail Bracing remains in the place until the nail grows out while being adjusted regularly by your Podiatrist.
