The treatment of pectus carinatum (PC) has classically been operative, though compressive orthotic braces have been used with good success in recent years. Compressive orthotic bracing is a successful method of treatment of pectus carinatum. The associated sternal rotation can be significantly improved with appropriate bracing that results in a subjective improvement in the deformity. Asymmetry of chest diameter related to concomitant excavatum-type deformity is less likely to respond to bracing attempts. In this way, initial chest CT can be of value in treatment planning.

It is a very interested question Edurad
I think this depends on the experience in this field .Also the age,weight,length,and the causes of orthotic used may be effect on the wearable devices
CT may help you to give some indication .I think this question cane be answers correctly after different study with different process and materials using compressive wearable orthotic devices
