BraceNFix™ is the latest technology designed by Australian Podiatrists to treat ingrown and involuted (very curved nails) toenails without the need for surgery.
BraceNFix™ is a non-invasive and pain-free way to permanently resolve and restore the natural alignment and growth of the nail.
Why BraceNFix™?
Onychocryptosis, otherwise known as an ingrown toenail, is a common occurrence among people of all ages.
Previously Podiatrists were left with few options in treating ingrown toenails. Podiatrists’ two primary treatment options consisted of either performing a Partial Nail Avulsion (surgical removal of part of the nail) or removing the nail non-surgically if the issue had not progressed beyond salvage.

These approaches had previously resulted in poor outcomes for patients, as patients who did not wish to undergo a Partial Nail Avulsion (surgical removal of the nail) procedure or did not want an injection or simply were unsuitable for the non-surgical approach left patients being unable to resolve their issue. This led to the development of BraceNFix™. BraceNFix™ has changed the way Podiatrists treat Ingrown toenails and has helped thousands of patients get out of pain and naturally restore the shape of their toenail. **Please note, a Partial Nail Avulsion procedure may be required in certain cases.
How does BraceNFix™ work?
BraceNFix™ is applied on top of the nail and positioned in place by a Podiatrist. Once it is positioned, BraceNFix™ is then set using the BraceNFix™ light. This enables the nail to regrow in its natural shape and alignment. BraceNFix™ remains in place until the nail grows out while being adjusted regularly by your Podiatrist.
