Braces before wisdom teeth?

Can I get braces before I get my wisdom teeth pulled?





I am 18 and the bottom wisdom teeth are growing in but not really the top ones.


Would it be ok to get braces and then get my wisdom teeth pulled while I have braces?


I would think it would be better to get the wisdoms pulled first so that the teeth have room to spread out because I have crowded teeth.





Let me know Dentist and give me more than just %26quot;that is really up to your Dentist%26quot;


Thanks

Braces before wisdom teeth?
in this case your dentist will need to take an x-ray of your mouth( a Pan) to see how far along your teeth actually are, usually all dental procedures (fillings, extractions, infections) must be taken care of before you get braces.
Reply:Yea, I got mine out not too long ago and it doesnt matter whether or not you have braces on.
Reply:Just wait for your wisdom teeth to pull out!
Reply:I got my braces before my wisdom teeth started showing up and they caused no problems. But, I also got my wisdom teeth pulled before they came in--they were becoming impacted.
Reply:No it is not up to the dentist. Use your head. 1 + 1 = 2
Reply:thats really up to your dent-- oh, nevermind
Reply:ur teeth wont %26#039;spread out%26#039; once ur wisdom teeth are gone. Although i do think its better to get them out before braces or soon after braces. I had mine off for 2 yrs before my wisdom teeth started to come thru. It moved all my teeth and i had to get the braces back on for a year. Not fun!
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth pulled a month or 2 before I got braces. I think it%26#039;s common sense to do it that way -- your wisdom teeth would otherwise just interfere with the braces and if you never got them pulled then they would just make your teeth crooked again. Also with braces in your mouth, I think that the trauma of having your wisdom teeth pulled would be too much and probably staunch the healing process.
Reply:i would get the wisdom teeth pulled or taken care of first. They are very large teeth and often come in crooked or impacted like mine did. I had mine removed at age 30! To put braces and then mess with the wisdom teeth would be backwards to me. If your teeth are crowded now, they will be worse when those wisdoms finally erupt or do what they are going to do.
