    Dont know about wrist braces, but the best thing you can do is wait on riding and strengthen your wrist up.
    I broke my wrist, first weekend without plaster, i jumped on the bike and went for a ride, went over a usual bump and broke it again. I had gone over that bump thousands of times with no problems. But they are very fragile when the cast first comes off, i dont know your riding style but i would just strengthen it up first and then take it lightly on the bike.

    well one guy i know shattered both of his wrists when he flatlanded an 80 foot jump on his bike, now he uses a carbon fibre pair of wrist braces and they set him back $800ish

    but you cant really put a price on safety cos it will end up being cheaper than your hospital bills

    well when the guy i know first got his i tried them on and surprisingly they arent too restricted.

    just hope you dont have a long throttle they would take a while to get used to cos of the small restriction of movement but nothing you wouldnt be able to do in a few rides
