My knee will dislocate out of place, when I am doing some of the simplest things. Is there anything I can do to help prevent it. I have a knee brace but is there something else?

Amputation. Well, "best" is a matter of perspective.

What kind of knee brace do you have. It is an articulated one? (One with metal stays and a joint on the side with at least 9" of brace above the knee and below with velcro?
I am thinking of something like the Breg X2K knee brace like is shown here:

If you need more bracing, they make ones with more bracing. You also don't say which way your knee dislocates - medial, lateral, anterior or posterior. There may be a better option to control the exact dislocation you have than the X2K.
In order to get one of these fit, you need to see an orthotist, prosthetist or an orthopedic technologist. Most casting rooms at hospitals have one of these working nearby that can fit you with what you need.

I know the knee brace can get very annoying. You should definitely see a chiropractor immediately.

to dilslocate the knee joint without substantial trauma, is perplexing if no longer impossible. you will desire to be dislocating the knee-cap (patella). if there is weak spot of the thigh muscle, (Quadriceps) then artwork to augment it. if there are bony deformities, they're going to must be corrected surgically- (especially knock-knee)

an ace bandage wrapped tightly around your knee might be more comfortable than a brace.
