Question

If i'm getting braces, do I HAVE to remove my wisdom teeth?

Answer 1

It would depend on your age I had braces and my wisdom teeth were not yet in. They came in while I had braces but they didn't take them out till 4 years after my braces were off.

Answer 2

Only if they don't allow room for the adjustment needed.

Answer 3

It depends on the size of your mouth really. I won't have to have any pulled (so says my Orthodontist). But I've seen people that may have to. If they are already in, you may not have to because they will work "with" them.

Talk to an Orthodontist and find out for sure. GET DAMON BRACES! :)

Answer 4

Usually you do! I had to have 4 teeth out before i could have my braces.(:

Answer 5

It depends how bad your teeth are ask the dentist

Answer 6

It's always a good idea. I had braces at 13 before my wisdom teeth came in. I'm 21 now and I just got my wisdom teeth out in June and am about to get braces again because they pushed my teeth back out of alignment.
