What happens to your braces when you go to jail?
So, if you are going to prison for a long time, and you are wearing braces when you are incarcerated, chances are the braces will be a lost cause and you will have to start over with them when you are released. In case of emergency, most facilities will transport you to a local hospital for treatment.
Why do morticians sew mouths shut?
Koutandos said a body’s nose and throat are packed with cotton wool to stop fluids from seeping out. Cotton may be used to make the mouth look more natural, if the deceased doesn’t have teeth.

Plus, blunt trauma often leads to broken brackets.

What happens to orthodontic gear when a body is buried/cremated?
