Dental retainer?

[johnmyson]

Does anyone know if it would be allowable to wear a dental retainer while at OCS? I have a horrible feeling that all that orthodontic work is going to go to waste if I can't wear it for 13 weeks

I can see how it wouldn't be allowed during the day (I can't just ask the DI to hold on a minute while I remove my retainer to eat), but what about at night?

Go ahead. Nobody's going to bother you about it.

Yeah.... oh well, I guess straight teeth will have to wait

I was serious. At night nobody comes up by you. After you get past the first few weeks after dinner you are pretty much left to study or whatever. And even before then...nobody is going to say anything.

What about a permanent retainer? Will I have to have that taken out before I go?

 

[tali264]

Nope. I had one.

Oh, ok then. Sounds good. Thanks.
