CURTAIN ROD, JAMMED BACK and BUSTED IT WIDE OPEN

Could someone tell me if a curtain rod it's a device that they use for line in a good shape the teeth and that it's advised by dentists to them customers?:
'I rode my bike down these real high stairs and had a CURTAIN ROD in my mouth. I was going so fast that I couldn't stop and ran into the front door. The curtain rod JAMMED BACK into my mouth and BUSTED IT WIDE OPEN.

Could someone explain me these expressions in capital letters?

No, it sounds as though this person was stupidly carrying a real curtain rod in their mouth. A curtain rod being something that you hang window curtains from. Why it was in their mouth I can't imagine and why they were riding their bike indoors down stairs, I don't know.
