Assuming that you are using the Windows version.

With the cursor on a brace, you can use Ctrl+] to find the matching brace.

On the menu, under the "Text" heading, sellect:
Auto-Indent style -> Language scope
Now, if you start a new line after a brace, it will be idented.
After you close a brace, the next line identation will get reduced. When 
you find yourself with no identation, it mean that all braces are matched.
This will also tend to make your code more readable.
