First, check that the big toe is still able to move laterally when manipulated. If it is not, do not use this device.
The orthosis can be worn on either the right or left foot.
During the first 3 uses, it is recommended to wear the brace for only 2 hours.
For subsequent uses, wear the brace all night.
Joint pain may be experienced during the first few uses. If it persists beyond 7 nights, consult your podiatrist.
After one month of wearing the orthosis and in the absence of pain, a second thermoforming to increase the correction can be performed (see the thermoforming instructions provided). The desired correction will then be achieved without the spacer, but by pulling laterally on the big toe.
