I am going to give my first ssb. I have anterior open bite and only my 2 sets of molar join upon biting. But this hasn't hampered my effective mastication or phonetics. What are the chances that I will not be rejected in the dental test.

Hello Army guidelines doesn't specifically mention any of the dental issues for rejection. But with the patient coming in before their medical, ssb , from that experience i am answering this. Until and unless it does not hamper in Mastication or phonetics, its not a problem But yes if you have cavity or any of your tooth is deeply & grossly carious, also if your mouth is not clean, bad smell, gum bleeding , heavy calculus, heavy stains, then that is the concern . For that you need to get fillings, scaling , rct , crown whichever is required.
