Will My Braces Set Off The Metal Detector At The Airport?
I’m going on vacation next week & I’m paranoid that my braces will set off the metal detector at the security checkpoint. Last night I told my mom “What if my braces have set off the metal detector & they have to strip search me?!”. No I don’t suffer from paranoia. I’m just really cautious.

no they won’t set it off, I have flown many times & I used to have braces, & I also have 2 rods in my back from a surgery to corect scoliosis & I have an implant for my seizures, so I have a lot of metal in my body haha & I have never set off the detector

No. And if for any reason, someone sets off the beeper…like having a metal plate in their skull, or artificial knees, they simply have you step to one side & ues the handheld WAND to check you . They do not strip search you for something like that.
