Yes. Braces have nothing to do with being able to attend radiologic technology school.

You can go to school to be an x-ray tech for sure.
The only time that metal becomes a problem with x-rays is when the metal is going to be in the way of the body part you are taking an x-ray of.
Good Luck...

Yes, as long as it doesn't have like have to x ray your face. When I was at the dentist, they were gonna x ray my face and realized I had braces, so they didn't. I would call your orthodontist to double check on that.

As a dentist, I can tell you without a doubt that you can have braces and attend Radiologist Training. Good luck in school!

Yes, absolutely. The only thing that I can think of is it MIGHT limit your ability to rotate into the MRI suite---but even if that is the case, it would only be temporary----and would not effect your ability to get into a program or complete it.
