I want to join back up but currently have 1 year left on my traditional braces. I’m willing to switch to invaslign if it will allow me to join again without haveing to wait another year or stopping mid treatment. The research I have found states active duty and ait and of course non deployed members can have them. I have been out for seven years and do not know if I will need to repeat basic trading what with all the changes that have been made. So my question is are invaslign aligners allowed in Army basic training?

Have you talked to a recruiter yet? That would be who I would ask as they would have the most current information.

Yes I am currently talking to one and we are both doing research because he claims yes but DOD REGULATIONS of induction of a soldier state even invaslign ( being orthodontic work ) has to be finished. So it’s conflicting to what he says and what I find so I was looking for a more info.

I know that braces are not permitted. I do not know if aligners would be permitted, but there is a chance that they may be. Ask your recruiter. If they are allowed, I would recommend that you bring more than one set.
