About the wisdom tooth that isn’t that uncommon! My sisters top two wisdom teeth grew into her sinus and had to be removed.

I wonder if she gets sinus headaches a lot. Can they not extract that tooth?

Alvin has many bits outside of the pressure vessel, I suspect the sword fish stabled a wire or plastic cover.
