Yes, dental brackets are small enough that it should pass through your digestive tract within the next 3 days. If you can get a "visual" on the bracket (as exciting as that sounds) then you will at least know for certain that it has passed thru. If you're still uncertain or not sure of the bracket's passage, you can follow up with a Dr. to explain what happened. But, I'm sure, no worries, it should pass through.

Once I swallowed a diamond! its still in there. I think. LOL! Anyways check your defecation to see if it came out. If all goes well it will come out. If it doesnt it will probably take a few years for your body to digest it but it will come out.

Poop in a stainer for the next couple of weeks so you'll know if it comes out

Probably will come out but maybe you should check your "stuff" and see. That's what the Doc told us to do when my kid swallowed a quarter.

Generally speaking.. if nothing snags or catches on the way down it too shall pass.

It could if it's sharp. If not, it'll eventually pass out of your system.

It'll be expelled in your feces.

If you're okay now, you'll be okay later.
