Braces and wisdom teeth?

Are you supposed to have your wisdom teeth taken out when you have braces? Either before you get them or after they're off?





Because I've had my braces off for almost 5 months and nobody has mentioned anything about wisdom teeth and I think one of them is out now. Is this going to be a problem?

Braces and wisdom teeth?
Honestly... if your having your 'wisdoms' surfacing now... ask your dentist. They could mess up your teeth again. BUT... then again, they may not. Best thing is to ask your dentist what he thinks.





Upper's or lowers.. which are they?


Also you should have retainers, now. WEAR THEM... they'll help keeping you in line, while those wisdoms are trying to come through.
Reply:no not really,because when i had my braces and my wisdom teeeth came in it didnt effect me and my dintist didnt say any thing like that
Reply:For me, I had to have my wisdom teeth removed before I had my braces. I didn't have enough room in my mouth for those and my regular teeth and my teeth be straight. If you have any real concerns, you could always just call up your orthodontist and ask. Might help ease your mind....
Reply:i just got my braces off and they said they're going to pull out my wisdom teeth in about a year
Reply:i got braces and then had my wisdom teeth out. i heard that the wisdom teeth can crowd ur teeth and screw up all the progress ur braces have made. i think they study when ur widom teeth will come in, then plan around that. if theyre coming in soon, then they might make u wait for braces. it depends. talk to ur orthodontist.
Reply:I had braces when I was 12. I had my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 22. I didn't get them pulled until I started feeling discomfort from them. It's no big deal..but a dentist will inform you when he/she thinks it's time to get them pulled.
