Wire snapped out of both brackets...swallowed it, scared!

:? :? :?

Well, I was eating pizza and all of a sudden I notice that in the very end, the wire had snapped out of both brackets that are attached to the 2 lower molars...and it's not there anymore. :shock:

There is no where else it could have gone other than down my tummy!

It's almost 1 cm, what now?? :? :cry: :cry: :cry:

It'll pass without any problem.

You can relax. Call your ortho to have it replaced...

You're okay! :D

I have eaten a piece of wire that connected my second premolar and first molar. It was on of the first wires. They are usually britle. I guess the piece of wire came out somehow :)

LOL, well I'm still alive!

Really freaked me out though, I thought it would puncture something and do me in!

I guess it passed... :oops:
