Pass the forefoot through the large bracelet. Then thread the big toe into the small sleeve. During the first 3 uses, it is recommended to wear the orthosis for 2 hours only. Then during subsequent uses, you could wear the brace all day. Joint pain may be felt during the first uses. If they persist beyond 7 days, seek advice from your podiatrist. After 1 month of wearing the orthosis and in the absence of pain, a 2nd thermoforming to increase the correction can be implemented. The desired correction will then be obtained without the retractor, but by pulling laterally on the big toe.
