The magnet just pulls normal dental work. The stainless hoe pulls out the ashes and then we would dig out the replacements. I think they were titanium but I couldn’t swear to it.
Yes most ortho hardware is Titanium alloy, and, non-magnetic.
Stainless steel was popular in the past and might still be used in some applications I believe. But Ti alloy is the standard in the US for ortho work.
They ought to recycle that shite. It is very expensive.

Some unscrupulous Funeral homes pull the gold crowned
teeth and eventually sell it when they collect enough.
Iknow a dentist who had pulled teeth with crowns put them
in a coffee can after a number of years of this he sent to
a refiner and collected 100,000 dollars.this was in the 80s
and 90s when gold prices went to high levels.
