Answer 1:
No they don't because braces are made of silver or stainless steel, and that won't set it off. Hope this helped!
Answer 2:
Most metaldetectors can be tuned to react on various different metals and sizes of metal objects.
Braces may set it off, but it is not likly to do this because there is such a small amount of metal in them.
Metaldetectors at airports react on all metals. but they have a threshold of when to beep or not beep.
It depends on factors like securitylevel where this threshold is put.
In times of extra high security level, you may experience the beeping when being cleared for travel at the airports.
It is a myth that silver and stainless steel do not set off metal detectors.

Do eyeglasses set off metal detectors?
Depends on how it's set up. Portal (walk-through) detectors like at airports are divided into several height zones. If the risk level is low, the sensitivity in the waist high zone and the head high zone is often reduced to avoid metal buttons and rivets like in jeans, and jewelry and glasses setting off the alarms.
Will a zanco go off on a metal detector?
Airport metal detectors are quite sensitive to metals, this includes metal implants that may have been placed inside your body. Belt buckles, key chains, and steel-toed shoes may set off these sensitive metal detectors. Many commonly used orthopedic implants may also set off the metal detectors.

Does titanium set off metal detectors?
Probably yes. I have a titanium hip implant that always sets off the metal detectors at airport security. We are talking about a large implant going through and advanced detector. If you are using a basic detector and looking for a wedding ring or something small I would doubt if it would set it off. Titanium is a nonferrous metal.

Does a metal detector detect silver?
If you are talking about metal detector that you buy as a hobby for finding things then yes of course it will. But security metal detectors are adjusted so they aren't usually set off by something like earrings or a ring if that is what you mean. Though if you have a lump of silver in your pocket I imagine you would set off any metal detector. There are many instances of metal detectors detecting silver. Some of the largest treasure finds in the UK were hordes of silver coins found by people using metal detectors.
Should a Hip replacement set off dept store alarms at exits?
