Chronic curved and ingrown toenails are painful and can greatly affect ones enjoyment of life.

There is a wide variance in the severity of ingrown nails, and thus a wide range of treatment options. These range from simple warm salt water soaks, to nail packing, nail removal and in chronic, unstable cases surgical removal of the ingrown nails.

Ingrown toenails are often caused by genetic predispositions. However, ingrown toenails may also develop when toenail is not trimmed properly or when you wear inappropriate shoes. Ingrown nails are very painful and may get infected.

To avoid unpleasant surgical interventions, chiropodists and podiatrists offer many treatments for deformed or ingrown toenails. Corrective nail braces are medical devices, similar to dental braces which use tension to exert a change in tissues. The application of a custom nail brace takes only a few minutes, and can fully fix problems with your toenails. Within a certain time after application of nail braces, the treated nail is often completely straightened.
