If wearing a brace makes you happy, go for it.
With only 20 degree curvature, you might do better simply growing out of it.

20 degrees angulation in your spine still falls under mild scoliosis. Stretching of the tight muscles and strengthening of the weak muscles of your back is still effective in your case. This will retard the progression of the curvature. Breathing exercises such as deep diaphragmatic breathing exercise is also needed since your rib cage is connected to your spine there are tendencies that will affect the position of your lungs. Since your scoliosis is idiopathic, as you grew up the curvature will still increase especially if you are in the adolescent stage. Regular check up is needed.
