Hello.
Kindly attach a photo of yours , so that one can see your posture or body alignment.
Yes you can use a posture corrector only if you are unable to control or correct it actively..
In that case you should use corrector and slowly with passing days you stop using corrector and start maintaining a good posture actively..
To maintain good posture your muscles should be balanced and should be in good health.
So -
Use corrector but do reduce its time and let it go within few days.
Work on your body muscles to balance them and to tone them.
Active participation of maintaining right posture is mandatory.( For example - you should remember to sit in upright position , you should use phone laptop in correct neck and shoulder position ..etc )
Kindly coordinate for further discussion or question

Posture belt is a passive way of controlling a mobile and breathing cage of the body.
In my opinion, not a viable solution. Learning to adopt a good posture is controllable and long term.
Please visit a physio for a proper assessment
