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.
No, an MRI will not pull silver fillings out of teeth. While MRI machines use powerful magnets, the materials used in dental fillings, including silver amalgam, are not affected in a way that would cause them to be dislodged. However, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider about any dental work prior to undergoing an MRI.

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.
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.
