Nail bracing is a conservative treatment option for involuted or pincer shaped nails. Nail bracing can help to prevent ingrowing nails and is a suitable option for those looking for non-operative treatment of minor ingrown nails. The treatment is pain-free to apply. 

​

The nail brace is applied to the proximal edge and additional braces can be applied to the distal edges to resolve problematic involuted nails. 

​

Nail bracing is a long term treatment option, each cycle takes around 20 weeks. Nail bracing is suitable for high risk foot types -  Diabetic patients and those with peripheral vascular disease that may not be suitable for operative treatments. 

​

Nail bracing is claimable via some private health insurers.
