Will Chewies Cause a Problem If swallowed ?

January 31, 2019
Asked By:happypuppydog in Cronulla, 02

I use the chewies as directed by my orthodontist and sometimes when I feel the need to bite my aligners, I have come close to swallowing them once or twice and was wondering if they would cause me any harm if i did. I googled Styrene Copolymer and was unable to find out if it was a ok to consume by accident. This seems to be a common question but I have been unable to find an answer. Thank You

You're lucky those cupids came in on their own, that's great! You may have to put up with some unsightly spacing during the treatment. More so on the upper right, where the permanent cuspid (#6) is behind the baby tooth. Painting a fake tooth in the aligner would not work there. That is a good...
