Teeth issues?

I know it's probabily on this site (somewhere) but I haven't found the exact info I'm looking for. I'm not worried about having the work done in boot, but I'm wondering if there is a threshold of bad teeth that they will just send someone home.

I've got a few in rough shape, and don't have the time or money to fix them before I leave. What I'm wondering, is of they send people home who have teeth in rough shape? I know a few cavities isn't a problem, but if it's more than that will they even bother?

I'm willing to let them do whatever they want, and I will work hard to show them I'm there to stay. But I was just reading on the military.com forums about a marine who was sent home for her teeth. I'm hoping that was just that marines excuse for not wanting to tough it out.

My main question is - has anyone heard of someone being DQ'd for their teeth in boot camp?
