bracenfix™ FAQ’s
-
Most involuted nails start off growing straight at the proximal end of the nail (matrix) and as the nail grows distally the nail begins to curl resulting in involution.
bracenfix™ braces the proximal nail as the nail grows distally supporting the nail and preventing the nail from curling. Additionally, when its cured/or hardened, it causes the nail to contract slightly, resulting in internal tension which helps further to re-align the nail growth.
