A section of my braces wire went missing?!


Question: That's all I really know, I was having dinner with a friend, too busy talking, and after dinner I realized a section of the wire connecting my braces wasn't there any more.

I don't remember swallowing it, nor do I remember spitting it out, but it was there that morning...so I think i might have swallowed it while eating.

It is quite a sharp object so I'm afraid it might be harmful, anyone have any ideas of what I should do? Doctors? Or just leave it.
