Default bark chip in crown

It's too tight a place to get it out with teasers
I meant tweasers -- or how does one spell that? My spell checker corrected
it to teasers.

I have a problem: one of my orchids fell over and bark chips flew all over
the place, including into the crown of another Phal orchid (that was
located on a shelf below the one that fell over), and now I can't get the
bark chip out of the crown. Will this affect leaf growth? Or should the
Phal new leaves be strong enough to dislodge the bark piece when the time
comes? How important is it that I get this chip out of there? If it is
important, how do I do it? It's too tight a place to get it out with
teasers, and I also tried shaking the plant while upside down and that did
not dislodge it either.

Thanks,
Joanna
