While some cases of scoliosis do not need treatment, some children with the condition may need to wear a brace to prevent their scoliosis from worsening, particularly if they are still growing. The two back braces used to treat scoliosis are the Milwaukee brace and the thoracolumbar-sacralorthosis brace (TLSO), or underarm brace. While the TLSO brace is less noticeable than the Milwaukee brace, it does not effectively treat scoliosis in the upper spine.

Power chains are made of the same type of elastic material as the elastic ligatures (the o-shaped elastics that hold your arch wire to each bracket). In essence, power chains are like a bunch of ligatures linked together. Placed on your teeth, they form a continuous band, from one tooth to the next. Usually, you wear power chains instead of ligatures. Sometimes, your orthodontist can put both a ligature (or tie wire) and power chains on your teeth. It depends on what is attempting to be accomplished. Occasionally, some orthodontists decide to give you "power chains" made of wire (where a continuous piece of wire is twisted around each bracket).
