My wisdom teeth haven't bothered me at all. I recently went to the dentist and they were saying that because of the positioning of my wisdom teeth, that they may bother me later. They were advising that I remove them before getting invisalign for my top set of teeth. I feel like this is not necessary since the wisdom teeth aren't bothering me and my imperfection on my top set of teeth is minor. Someone help me before I go through this expensive and dreadful procedure!!! Any Dentists out there???

Probably. The case must be approved by Invisalign before they even make it. If you have wisdom teeth that caused your problem in the first place, why try to fix the problem without addressing the cause. They probably would not even make the case.

You will be using Invisalign for approx. 2 years. If your wisdom teeth start to bother you within that time they will have to come out, and the orthodontist will have to start the Invisalign process all over again. To start the process all over again will be an additional cost to you. So it would be better to have them removed now.

only if they are still under your gums and leaning toward the teeth in front of them. if they are leaning then they wont grow out of your gums and will only push the others together even more. you need to get an x-ray to see!

You don't need to get rid of them if they aren't interfering with the normal positioning of your other teeth.
