I haven't flown since probably 2001 (pre 9/11 though). I also have a metal plate in my head. Long story short, I broke my maxilla and had bone sorta flap outwards so some of my teeth were also sticking pretty much straight outwards. Anyways, when I flew I kept setting off metal detectors in the airports. I actually had one of the security guys wand my head to verify that's what it was. lol How much of a hassle would this cause me? Would I need medical papers when I fly or am I good?
