Im 13 years old and 3 of my wisdom tooth are almost done coming out, but my teeth are getting crowded. Is installing braces into my teeth a good idea?

well...the wisdom teeth have to all come out first. (it isn't as bad as it sounds, really) even if the last one has not pushed it's way thru (it is impacted) then some people have to have a couple other teeth removed as well to make plenty of room for the teeth to shift when you have braces. It is a good idea if you have the option to get orthodontics. I did not when I was your age and it left my teeth crowded, now at 23 I have had my wisdom teeth out and my braces should be on shortly after my 24th b-day.

If your teeth are getting crowded, braces aren't going to help. The dentist might have to pull out your wisdom teeth to stop the crowding. Then, he can put in the braces. There's no use for braces if there's not enough space in your mouth.

that is a question best ask of you dentist because if you teeth have a good line then braces may not be necessary he might recommend that you have one or more of your wisdom teeth taken out. See your dentist to be sure before you see about braces they are expensive and painful at times

It may be easier for the orthodontist to work on you if you have your wisdom teeth pulled FIRST. Back in October, I had all of mine pulled, and I'll be getting braces in about a week. You're still young, so your mouth and teeth are still growing. Talk to your parent or guardian and have an orthodontist appointment made so that you can know for sure. Best of luck!

Before gettin braces you will want your wisdom teeth out. Because if you get braces and you get them taken off the wisdom teeth will shift your teeth even if you have a retainer.

not until you get the wisdom teeth removed. It is very hard to keep them clean and will almost always result in a cavity anyhow. So go ahead and have them removed. Sometimes the teeth will all "fall" back into place without braces.

Your dentist should know what to do. He will more than likely pull your wisdom teeth before you get braces, if they are necessary. Make sure you brush up, and ask for an appointment!

I was about 18 when my wisdom teeth came in. My dentist recommended that I see an oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth surgically removed because my lower two wisdom teeth were impacted. That surgery went fine for me.

no!!! at least not while they are still in your mouth (wisdom teeth). Ask your dentist to take them out and then give ou braces to correct any problems you may have right now due to the delay not taking them out earlier!!!!
then take care of your teeth specially the ones on the bottom because it will cause you trouble if any of those teeth are taken out......affecting your jaw, head, neck, back (spinal cord), hips, aligment on your back, legs, and digestive problems tooo!!!
Good luck and don't wait ask your dentist why not have they taken your wisdom teeth!!!

Don't worry. The dentist will remove them before he gets started with the braces.
