It's good that this deformity has been picked up.14 years age with sex being female.....she has got potential to grow for at least 3 years roughly....this can be variable.....but if curve angle I.e Cobbs Angle...if it's more now only,it's worth to see any local spine surgeon so that clinical evaluation and whether surgery is needed or not, can be decided.

If you noticed it recently most likely it will be idiopathic scoliosis. If it’s less than 20 degree nothing to be done. If more than 20 -40 ideally brace should be applied. If more than 40 degree it should be corrected surgically. Scoliosis surgery these days is very safe.
