Help - Any idea if steel or titanium screws were used in 2005 jaw surgeries?

#1 Post by JawScrewed »

This is my last shot. I have to have a treatment that essentially MRIs my whole head...but I had jaw surgery in 2005. If I have stainless steel screws, I can't have the treatment. If they're titanium, then I'm good to go. Is there any way to find out what my jaw screws are made out of? The doctor has retired, his office doesn't exist, and nobody knows where the records are. Is there some other way? I have an Xray, but they just look like white lines. Thanks for your help.
