Should I Be Worried About Swallowing A Piece Of Wire?

I have braces and a piece of my wire came loose and was sticking out. I tried cutting the wire with wire clippers and a big piece of wire came out. I tried to cut it again because there was still a little piece of wire left and after cutting it i think i might have swallowed a piece of the wire. should i be worried?

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly .
@ Medical science does not work on possibility of swallowing piece of wire ,
you have to first get it confirmed by X-ray abdomen in standing
position about it presence
@ If x-ray is not revealing it - forget it , enjoy
@ If x-ray is showing it - it will depict its position, shape , size all in details
depending upon which consultant will guide you perfectly.
Hope this clears your query .
