 The brace is generally positioned on the side that is more heavily ingrown. 

 

 In order for the brace to lie completely flat on the body of the nail it must be 

bent with the fingers to accord with the curvature of the nail. 
 

! The size should be selected in such a way that the 
brace can be stuck as far as possible towards the rum 
on the ingrown side of the nail. 

Clean the brace 

The brace must likewise be degreased with an alcohol swab and must then be 
allowed to dry (about 15 seconds). 

 

! Bend the brace a little more than the body of the nail is curved and it will 
then better fit onto the nail. This is particularly important on the ends of the 
brace. 

Clean the nail 

Before gluing on the brace the nail must be thoroughly 
cleaned  and  degreased.  For  this  purpose  an  alcohol 
swab  or,  alternatively,  a  swab  drenched  with  isopropyl 
alcohol  can  be  used. 

After  cleaning  the  nail  should 

be allowed to dry (about 15 seconds)

 

1. Preparation 

 

Polish the nail 

For  gluing  on  the  brace  the  nail  must  have  as  even  and  smooth  a  surface  as 
possible. If needed, it can be smoothed or slightly roughened with a cutter or a 
soft nail file. Loose parts of the nail must be removed. 

 

Adjust the brace 
 

 Select the proper size.
