REMOVE WISDOM TEETH FOR CROWDING? l Dr. Melissa Bailey

[@hengedraws]

My teeth on my lower jaw are all starting to bend inwards and I think it’s because of my wisdom teeth, would getting them removed fix the bending inwards of my teeth on my lower har?

Hi doc, your videos are awesome! And I especially appreciate you taking the time to answer comments here. I started Invisalign a month and a half ago, and it causes me terrible wisdom teeth inflammations. I'm very worried about the way this will impact my progress, since I need to remove my trays sometimes (the inflammation is too painful), until my wisdom teeth are pulled out - which will be soon, hopefully..

Thank you for addressing this. This is definitely my issue and why I didn't want to get braces because I felt as if I should wait until the wisdom teeth needed to be pulled. It felt like a catch twenty-two.

Glad you found it to be helpful. Yes, it is definitely a common question for patients with crowding.
