Would brases or metal plates, screws in the body. have this effect?
I would think so the skin doesn't provide magnetic field insulation.
You guys ever see the episode of ER where they bring the patient into the MRI room with a metal stretcher, and they walk away for a second and turn on the machine and it smashes the pt onto the machine!
Talking from Experience, Never had an incident with an MRI machine while I had Braces, or with the 6 Screws and 2 plates in my jaw.
The material they use I believe is not REAL metal, Someone can help me on this, But Im fairly certain that for some instances (As the ones your talking about) they arent real metal

no, metal plates do not get yanked out or slam you into the MRI machine, I was born with a clef lip and pallet and they had to extend out my maxilla out about 3 inches they put a metal plate and screws in my face and i was fine during my MRI during my motorcycle wreck (yes i asked the nurse if it would affect the plate and she said no)
Hmm, that's weird. I wonder why it wouldn't have any effect. Can you stick a magnet to your face and have it hold?
I answered it above. Its a type of stainless that is not magnetic.
Finally there is a use for having a parent that works with metals.
