Abstract
This report presents an unusual case, whereby a 13-year-old Down's syndrome boy accidentally swallowed a removable quadhelix appliance that subsequently required surgical removal. The paper discusses management strategies for patients who have accidentally swallowed components of their orthodontic appliance. It also highlights the need for orthodontists to consider limited objective treatment options for certain patient groups.Entities:
