Good point: Good point and it depends on whether you are done growing or not. Braces help prevent progression of kyphosis and in some cases can improve it, but they have no impact on someone done growing. Most 19 year old males are done with their growth, but not all. Your growth plates can be easily assessed on an AP X-ray view of the pelvis.
