This week on Positive Reaction Dr. Edwin Serrano and Dr. Danielle Aguilar talk braces, specifically prophylactic and rehabilitative braces. Together they hone in on the mental effects of building a dependency on braces but ultimately extend the choice to the wearer. In conjunction with dependency, Dr. Danielle and Dr. Edwin list common injuries that would require braces and highlight the importance of patient-level comfort above all else.
