Yes, you can have braces in any service, but you are non deployable for the entire time you have them

I saw quite a few Marines end up with braces while I was in. It was generally SNCOs who were careerists though. I also saw a lot of folks getting permanents as well. I also know of a few folks who were released at Boot Camp because their teeth and gums were so bad the Navy Dentists basically said it would take too much to fix their situation.

I was in a TRADOC unit at FT Gordon in 89 and was not permitted to get them because my teeth weren't bad enough and there was always a chance of deployment. I only wanted the gap in my front teeth closed up so the dentist came up with a compromise.

When it comes to having braces in the Marine Corps, it's best to consult with a military dental professional or your recruiter for the most accurate information. Generally, the Marine Corps may allow individuals to have braces, but there could be certain guidelines or restrictions in place.
Having straight teeth is important for overall dental health, so it's worth exploring the options available to you.
