Ingrown toenails, also know as
onychocryptosis, can be extremely painful and can lead to dangerous
infections. Many people suffer from ingrown nails on an ongoing
basis due to involution, a condition in which the nail edges curve
deep into the corners of the toes.
While careful trimming can
provide relief, the pain often returns as the nail grows back.
Toenail removal surgery can provide long term relief, but is not
always a good option for many people.
Custom nail bracing permanently treats ingrown nails by
correcting the nail shape.
Nail bracing is a painless
procedure that involves fitting the nail with a medical grade steel
wire that gently lifts the nail edges away from the skin. Over
time, the nail braces will guide the nails to grow straight and
flat, a bit like orthodontic braces straighten out teeth. Most
people experience immediate relief once the brace is placed, and
after treatment is finished, most will never experience an ingrown
nail again. The brace is small and discreet, and will not affect
your footwear, activities or lifestyle. You can even continue to
paint your toenails.
Nail braces are a great option
for children, diabetics, people who are nervous about needles or
surgery or anyone concerned about losing their nails to
surgery.
