Questions About Braces

[terdenebat14]

I received an LOA to the Naval Academy in late January, but I finally received info from DODMERB about my braces. They want me to fill out an Orthodontic Questionnaire stating my treatment will finish before I day. However, from previous talks with my Orthodontist I know my treatment will take until August at the earliest. So, what should I do, and since braces are not allowed, how can I start the waiver process.

If you’d like, you may send me an email: lawrence.e.mullen.civ@mail.mil; provide complete name and last 4 SSN; provide the text of your Parent's posting above to YOUR email. The subject line of the email should be “terdenebat14- SAF =Question about Braces.“ Do NOT embed links in your email as I will not be able to view those.

Definitely you should communicate with Mr. Mullen.

You might also contact the orthodontist to see if it is medically feasible to accelerate completion before R-Day and document this on the ortho questionnaire.
