I have 2 wisdom teeth that has been growing since I was like in 5th grade. They were very very small and were fine until about last year (junior year of high school) really started to kick in. Now, as high school graduate, I think it's fully grown. Is it possible that growth of wisdom teeth can cause an UNDER BITE? How much is it to get one wisdom tooth taken out?

  1. It is possible for wisdom teeth to cause an irregular bite. However, this is very rare. It all depends on how much your insurance will cover to have them removed but for all four of mine with insurance it was only about 600 dollars. I reccommend going to see your dentist and have xrays taken to determine how many you need to get out. You many only feel pain from two of them but all four(or more!) may have to be taken out. You'll experience way more problems in the future if you don't have them removed now.


  2. your wisdom teeth must be pulled, they could be crowning your teeth and or taking up too much space. they might be able to cause under bite,  you should go to your dentist right away.  

  3. Yes, wisdom teeth can shift the rest of your teeth forward, causing a number of problems including underbites, crossbites, etc.

    It would probably be in your best interest to have your wisdom teeth extracted. Typically, an extraction costs around 100-150 depending upon your dentist, but if you have dental insurance, extractions should be covered partially if not fully.

    Best of luck!

  4. It costs about 500-800 dollars (mostly paying for the anesthesia). My friend got hers out last year, and she said it was one of the most painful experiences of her life. Then again, if they're causing you pain right now (not to mention messing up your teeth) then you've got nothing to lose.

    If you do get them out, milkshakes are really good to drink afterwords because you don't have to chew it (lol) and the coldness numbs your gums.
