A 30-year-old woman in Perth, Australia, who thought she had her braces removed 10 years ago discovered that wasn’t the case: One wire was still in her intestine. At first, doctors thought the pain was caused by her gall bladder and sent her home after it stopped. But two days later, the woman returned to the hospital and doctors did a CT scan on her. Turns out, there was a wire-shaped object in her small intestine, according to Live Science. Doctors performed emergency surgery on the woman and removed a 2.8-inch-long piece of orthodontic wire that had pierced through several parts of the small intestine, causing the organ to twist around itself.
