Answer 7

The quick answer is no.

Braces are used to correct tooth alignment both for aesthetics (looks) and function. In many cases, people's wisdom teeth don't have room to come in and may even be stuck under the bone (impacted) making them not as useful for biting and chewing. This is why you will often hear about people having their wisdom teeth taken out - they are very far in the back of the mouth, hard to clean, and often not in line for chewing.

Answer 8

No most people (almost all) get their wisdom teeth out after wearing braces.  That's what I did.  Your dentist will know what is right for you.

Answer 9

nope.actually i had to take mine out because they were pushing the teeth together..so sometimes u dont need them.
