I'm 24. My dentist noticed my wisdon teeth were coming out on my last check up, and had some X rays done on mee. The reason I never noticed was because all 4 of them are coming out straight.
I think my facial structure is chaging. Does this happen, or am I just imagining?

YES IT DOES. YOUR BONE STRUCTURE IN YOUR JAW CHANGES SO THE SHAPE OF YOUR CHEEK WILL ALSO CHANGE. YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, BUT WHEN WISDOM TEETH ARE PULLED YOUR JAW-LINE USUALLY GOES IN OR SHALL I SAY CAVE IN CAUSE THOSE TEETH ARE GONE. I TOOK DENTAL TECHNICIAN FOR 1YR AND THAT'S WHAT I LEARNED WHILE STUDYING.

It can. Before modern dentistry, when people lost teeth their wisdom teeth moved in to replace any missing teeth. Your teeth will shift and move to accommodate them, find is you're missing a few but that's very rare these days with corrective dental work. If you do not have ALL of your wisdom teeth removed, it can undo any expensive dental work you've had done (i.e. braces). If you have only two of the four removed, your teeth will shift over to accomodate the uneven bite. Gotta love evolution. Did you know that some people don't even get their wisdom teeth? Nature has figured out that we don't need them anymore.

Its your imagination. Wisdom teeth can effect your other teeth by pushing them forward or out. But, to change the structure of your face,if possible,would take a very long time.

You're just imagining. And by the way, if your wisdom teeth aren't causing you any problems, you DON'T have to have them extracted. I had mine done when I was 38. Dentists will often times try and convince you to have them out as a way of drumming up business.

Unless your teeth are HUGE, I don't think your facial structure will change. What you might be seeing is your gums being swollen from the teeth breaking through.

That's supposed to happen since your dental structure has been tampered with. I had the same issue when I had them coming through, but that changed when I got them removed. VIVA LA RAZA!

it's not caused by the wisdom teeth, but your face may just be changing due to natural growing and maturing.

No, your just imagining! That's a good thing that it's coming out straight and not impacted.

Mine did not change when I had all 4 removed.

Uh, not due to your wisdom teeth, but your face changes over your lifespan.
