A member asked:
I am 5 weeks pregnant today i went to the dentist and the took off my attachments for my invisalign . they drilled it away and didnt suction so i ended up swallowing it all. i am concerned for my baby?

No concern. The plastic will pass straight through your GI tract without being absorbed. As a matter of practice protocol, we use high speed evacuation when removing attachments, but that's mostly for patient comfort. Your baby should be fine. Congratulations.
