You should be allowed to have an MRI scan if you have wires on your teeth, such as fixed braces. However, if the braces are removable, then you may be asked to take them out before your scan. Contact your dentist or the MRI Unit where your appointment is to find out the exact regulations.

Is chewing wires good?

No, chewing wires is not good for you. The chemicals in the outside of the wire, if swallowed, could potentially harm you. Plus, it isn't very good for your teeth, as the same chemicals on the outside of the wire could harm your teeth, and chewing on wires could also wear down your teeth much faster than normal people's teeth would wear down.

Will my head be out of the MRI for an MRI of my tibia?

If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.


If you have braces why would the dentist cross the wires on the top teeth?

My guess would be that you have incisors that are not straight and the crossing of wires will bring them into proper alignment as well as make them the same "length" in the mouth.
