Scoliosis is moderate, yes. If the curve, or curves (considering whether it's a C shape or S shape) are under 40 degrees, then you can get a brace. It's plastic, it's uncomfortable, and when I got one, I hated it so much that I actually took it off while I slept! You'd have to keep it on almost all day, except for if you have Gym class or when you're taking a shower, until you stop growing. But believe me, it was worth it. If you don't get a brace, then the spines curve can get worse and effect your entire organ system.
Of course if the curve(s) are more that 40 degrees than that means that you're gonna have to need surgery. There are some who do perfectly well in them, but there are others who don't. Some even die because of the surgery. The best bet is the brace.
Sorry if I scared ya!

Conventional orthopedic treatment for scoliosis consists of observation only for spinal curves less than 25*, rigid bracing for curves 25-40*, and multiple level spinal fusion surgery for curves 40* or more.
