Directions for Swallowing/Aspiration of a Bracket, Band or Piece of braces Most parts of the braces are designed with smooth edges so that, if they are swallowed, they will pass easily through the digestive tract. Therefore, if a part of the appliance is swallowed, remain calm and contact our office so we can replace the part as necessary. In extremely rare cases, a piece of the orthodontic appliance could act as a choking hazard, similar to a chicken bone or other foreign object. If a piece of the appliance has lodged in the throat, attempt to cough it out or dislodge it with the Heimlich maneuver. If airway obstruction is suspected, do not delay and get immediate emergency medical attention (dial 911). Once medical intervention is completed, please contact our office for follow up care.

How do braces come off?

they take off the wire first than they heat the glue up that's on every bracket (piece of metal) this takes 30 minutes to an hour and I didn't have fun doing this. make sure you wear the retainer! its very important to keep your teeth straight and if you thought every tightening was bad the teeth trying to shift back without the braces in your mouth can be 10x worse than that.
