Braces and wisdom teeth???
depends how much room is in your mouth and if they grow straight out or inward towards your other teeth, i am 20 and have invisalign, but i got my wisdom teeth removed when i was 18 it would have bee a disaster and waste of money if i wouldnt have waited.... it just depends usually your ortho will know what to do, i wouldnt worry to much
Reply:no your wisdom teeth are behind everything and they are still in your skin im 16 and just got braces like 3 months ago and i needed to get my wisdom teeth out for jaw surgery but they connect the braces one before your last teeth anyway so they dont even bug those wisdom teeth and my brother got his wisdom teeth out like 2 months before me and he had his braces off for like 2 or 3 years and his teeth are still the same so no they wont mess your teeth up
Reply:they could. It just depends on where they are in your mouth.
Reply:they might. Its most likely that they are. I had braces b4 my wisdom teeth had grown. I had to get my wisdom teeth removed after getting braces because the were going to make my teeth crooked again
Reply:Your orthodontist will determine whether or not your wisdom teeth need to be pulled. Many times, wisdom teeth stay dormant and don't even come in; they just sit in your jaw posing no threat to the new alignment. However, many orthodontists prefer to have them pulled anyway just as a precaution. For now, just work on getting through the slight inconvenience of the braces. If your wisdom teeth DO end up needing to be pulled, it's not a big deal. It's a very minor surgery that only takes a few days to heal from.
Reply:Wisdom teeth are the last teeth at each end of the upper and lower gums, at the very back of the mouth. The medical name for wisdom teeth is the third molars.


Wisdom teeth usually grow through the gums during your late teens or early twenties. There are normally four wisdom teeth. Often, there is not enough room in the mouth for the wisdom teeth to grow through in a straight line and they will emerge at an angle to fill the available space.





At your age getting your wisdom teeth out is probably not the best thing to do. I am sure your orthodontist will keep a close eye are your third molars and when your done with orthodontics he will probably let you know you need to get your wisdom teeth out at that point.
Reply:my orthodontist told me to get mine taken out because they could mess up everything the braces had done when they grew in.





i got my braces off in 8th grade and they were able to take the bottom ones out first. i guess the top ones hadn't grown in enough yet back when i was in 8th grade, so when i was in 11th grade, they took the top ones out.





it hurts, but i would probably suggest getting them all out at the same time so you don't have to suffer twice.
