Can I get cavities filled with braces? How do I prevent them?

Getting Your Braces Off? Here’s What to Expect!

3 Tips To Prepare For Your First Week With Braces

Copyright © 2022 Saxe Orthodontics. All Rights Reserved.
Imagine this: You have braces, and you bite down into a Snickers bar (or Almond Joy, or Payday..) and realize, “oh snap! I swallowed a braces bracket !” You forgot those pesky nuts are on the “don’t eat with braces” list. So what do you do now?
Here’s everything you need to know about what happens if you swallow a bracket or swallow a retainer wire .
Don’t panic! Swallowing a braces bracket is rare, but it does happen. The good news is: more often than not, you won’t experience any serious repercussions from a swallowed braces bracket . Our bodies are strong and resilient!
Regardless, it’s important to be prepared in case it happens.
Step 1: Keep calm, cool and collected.
Don’t panic if you swallow your bracket. Most of the time, your bracket will pass naturally. Your stomach acids will dissolve as much of the bracket as they can, and the rest will end up in the toilet.
Step 2: Be cautious of any symptoms you experience.
Stay cognizant of any symptoms that appear in your body. Although most of the time, brackets pass through the esophagus, down to the stomach, through the intestines and out through the rectum, it is possible (but rare) that the bracket becomes lodged somewhere in the body.
If the bracket becomes lodged, a person may experience symptoms, such as pain when swallowing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe stomach pain, and abdomen pain. In the event that you experience any of these symptoms, have someone take you to the emergency room or call an ambulance immediately.
Step 3: Schedule an appointment with your orthodontist!
Assuming the bracket passed naturally and no health complications occurred, you can schedule an appointment with our team at Saxe Orthodontics to have your bracket repaired.
We want to get you back on track with your orthodontic treatment as soon as possible to prevent your teeth from shifting out of place. One missing bracket shouldn’t affect your treatment progress, as long as it’s replaced relatively quickly.
In the meantime, if your missing bracket creates an irritating piece or wire on your braces, use some orthodontic wax to cover the sharp end or poking wire. Ortho wax can come in handy for a number of scenarios during your braces treatment !
If you swallow a braces wire or retainer wire, again – don’t panic. The wire will likely be passed naturally – the same way that a bracket would pass. Studies show that “once a foreign object reaches the stomach, it has an 80% to 90% possibility of passing through the gut with no problems. Less than 1% of foreign bodies have caused a perforation” ( JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science ).
In a case report published by the JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science, a young patient swallowed part of his braces archwire. Doctors planned to remove it via surgical procedure, but the archwire passed through the digestive system before they were able to.
Just be cautious of any signs or symptoms that would indicate the wire penetrated your body, consider reaching out to your primary care provider for their opinion, and wait for the piece to pass naturally.
Nobody swallows their braces bracket on purpose, of course. This situation may occur when someone is trying to adjust their bracket on their own, and they pop the bracket loose by mistake. Then before you know it, it goes down the hatch!
It’s also possible that you bite into a piece of food or candy that resides on the “do not eat with braces” list (like nuts), and the bite pressure forces the bracket to detach from the tooth. At that moment, you may swallow your saliva (which we do 400 to 500 times a day !) and this coincidental timing leaves you with a bracket in your stomach.
This is why swallowing your bracket is rare. Once you feel that piece of metal on your tongue or in your cheeks, you typically spit the piece out or remove it from your mouth.
People who question, “ what happens if you swallow a small piece of metal ” may have swallowed a temporary dental crown, a metal filling, or a retainer wire. Anything bite-sized that hangs out in your mouth can be swallowed by mistake. Your body is prepared for most situations!
The bottom line is – many people have swallowed braces brackets, and most of those people didn’t even feel the bracket pass. Your stomach acids will break down a good portion (if not all) of anything you swallow.
With any piece of metal or sharp material swallowed, do not make yourself vomit. If you try to vomit the piece back up, it could cut an organ on the way up!
It’s best to go to the emergency room if you fear that the piece may need to be removed from your stomach or from anywhere in your body.

To celebrate the release of my new web series, The Big Gulp, which is about swallowing (hint: not water) I asked a vital question: “Do you remember the first time you swallowed?” People’s answers ranged from hilarious to surprisingly dark. You can see my story in the first episode, “Winter Is Coming”, below:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd7KjDn0dFs&w=584&h=390]
“The first time I swallowed I ran away from my boyfriend, spit it out in the sink, and took a swig chocolate syrup. He was a Christian. He wanted me to put the syrup on his dick. I wouldn’t. He currently lives in Denver with his boyfriend.” Lia, 25
“Swallowing is funny because it seems like there is such a premium on it, versus “spitting” which takes more skill anyways. The first time I swallowed I didn’t even know what I was doing, it just happened. Like, suddenly there was this rush of salty liquid in my mouth, no warning. It was cool, I think. It was nice that there was a very concrete end point because otherwise I would have had no idea when to be done, at that point.” Christine, 28
“Ok so I can’t remember the FIRST time I swallowed. but O can remember a series of times. honestly at this point I don’t even remember spitting ever. I think for me swallowing and sucking dick go hand in hand. spitting always seemed too messy, too much of a — the first words that came to mind were dick/pussy, I don’t know what that says about me BUT — seemed like too much of a dick move / a pussy move. i remember it being so fucking disgusting the first several times. Hell, it’s even kind of gross now. I’m madly in love with my boyfriend and I still kind of gag a bit at the end of a BJ. For me that’s the only option. The idea of spoiling the moment to run to the sink and spit? That doesn’t appeal to me. And nothing turns me on more than when I’m told how good i taste, so then I would assume to reason that a man feels the same. I think if I were a dude and a girl was always spitting out my splooge, my feelings would be hurt. Really, I’m just protecting everyone’s feelings. that’s what’s going on here.” Celeste, 27
“It was with my first boyfriend, who was emotionally abusive and extremely selfish. The first time I swallowed was not my choice and I had no warning. He wouldn’t kiss me afterwards and shortly asked me to leave.” Alex, 21
“The first time I swallowed jizz I threw it up 5 minutes later. It was disgusting. It was so horrible, I was like yeah man I can do this, I can totally swallow jizz. I was like 19, and it was a huge load too and I was like OH OK THEN and then it tasted so wrong, like off milk mixed with ball sweat and so I swallowed it… then I tried to remain suave and sexy… then my stomach was churning and I threw up gluggy hot semen and it was the most disgusting feeling rising up from my throat into my mouth.” Courtney, 25
“I had been going out with this guy for about a month and a half. I was on my period and really didn’t want to get his sheets messy but he kept saying he didn’t mind and that it was fine with him. But since we were still pretty new, I really wanted to wait before we got into the period sex thing so I decided to go down on him instead. While I was blowing him, he kept saying how good it was and that he was close – you know, the usual pep talk. So I was really into it and when he told me he was about to come I just kept going and let him come in my mouth. At that moment, spitting it out didn’t seem like an option so I went ahead and swallowed it. The weird thing is, couple of seconds after I had swallowed, he looked up and asked me if I swallowed it and I got nervous and said “yeah, some of it”. His response to that was “ohh okay, cuz we haven’t been going out for that long so I don’t think we’re there yet.” We went out for another month after that but I never swallowed his again.” Amy, 23

Another day and another adventure in foods. Harry created yet another masterpiece of a meal and surprised me with it as I sat in the communal area. My experience with our last meal told me not to argue… just smile and accept the gift. Harry lifts a piece of ‘something’ out of a platter of boiling liquid and places it on my plate, then places another on his own plate. As I waited for him to sit and relax, the smells were tempting me to start in without him. I did, but only to peak under the Spinach enough to realize that this was not chicken, pork, or beef. I wasn’t sure, but I thought it was fish… I hate fish!
I was just hoping not to look like an asshole so I scooped up a small chunk on my fork and squeezed it pat my protesting lips. My eyes rolled back and my whole body relaxed against the backrest of the chair. I asked, “Is this fish?” and Harry responded with an affirmative. I looked at him and said, “I hate fish” and stuck another fork full in my mouth before giving him a double thumbs-up sign. It was the last thing I said until every bit of fish was removed from the plate and gently placed in my stomach.
I don’t know what this guy does, but he is the only person that has made fish (Flounder) edible to me. Not only edible, but oh-my-god-this-is-so-F’n-good good. I worked off my debt to him this afternoon by helping (3 hours of manual labor) him move 3000lbs of cargo into his storage container next door.

I was 16 and with my first real boyfriend who was 15. A few months earlier I had dated an older guy for a little while and we kissed some and I had let him kiss my b****** , but that's all. My current boyfriend and I had "gone all the way." We had made out a lot, he had kissed and licked my b****** many times, I had given him several hand jobs and put him in my mouth before, he had eaten me which felt great. Before taking my virginity he had fingered me several times - which was actually pretty painful at first. Looking back I know it was the fingering and petting that actually tore and stretched my hymen the most. Our first time together felt pretty good. He was gentle. It lasted about 15 minutes on the couch in my parent's basement before he came in me (no condo
