Have you spoken with your dental clinic about this? They may recommend (I've seen this happen before) that you get your braces removed for the length of your deployment if you won't have access to proper care while in theater.

Better to find out now and voice your concerns.

That being said, if you have not gone through a Medical SRP yet, then that would be the time to bring that up.

If you get AJ you'll be ok. Ali has a great set up, it's Air Force so there's a great gym, great food and poker. Buehring will make you question every life choice you've ever made.

CP Buehring had a dental clinic and was able to help them with there issues. but anything like removing or serious issues you where sent to AJ. Also CAT IV was taken care of at AJ. you should have no issues. goodluck and enjoy the gym and the heat.

Kuwait is an austere environment. Maintenance can be difficult. You may request a CENTCOM waiver dependent upon your individual situation. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 16 Nov 2015 07:09:13 -0500 2015-11-16T07:09:13-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-deploying-to-kuwait-next-summer-but-i-have-braces-for-my-teeth-is-this-a-problem?n=1114693&urlhash=1114693 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No it shouldn't be. Just bring what you need to maintain cleanliness etc. running a lot you will eT some dirt but SSG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:48:48 -0500 2015-11-17T16:48:48-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-deploying-to-kuwait-next-summer-but-i-have-braces-for-my-teeth-is-this-a-problem?n=1126105&urlhash=1126105 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I deployed in 2005 and was at Camp Doha mostly they did cleanings of all things even at Doha. But my 1SG actually took me out to Kuwait City to get some work done. Don't know how he managed it but it's possible.

One of our soldiers nearly died because they nicked a vein and tried to stitch it up. CPL Sharon Fahey Sat, 09 Apr 2016 12:29:09 -0400 2016-04-09T12:29:09-04:00 2015-11-04T01:59:33-05:00
