Can not getting your wisdom teeth moved cause you to get braces?

Question

My wisdom teeth are coming in and if I dont get them remvoed can that ead to getting braces

Answer 1

Rather than try to figure it out yourself, and worry about it unnecessarily, go to your dentist. If you don't have a dentist, get one.

It all depends on whether or not you have room for them to come in. I had about 1/2 the room I needed. Most of us have mouths too small for them these days. If you don't have enough room:

1) your wisdom teeth MIGHT move your other teeth.
- that MIGHT require braces -or- it might not... depends on how tight your space is and how much things move

2) your wisdom teeth might come in crooked
- sideways
- facing back

3) your wisdom teeth might become impacted and unable to break through the gums.

You need a dentist to give you the answer you're asking for.

Answer 2

Well, pretty much. 99.9% of people must have their wisdom teeth removed---whether they are getting braces or not. We just don't have room in our mouths for them. You wonder why why have them? Believe it or not, our wisdom teeth are actually left over from many centuries ago. We have evolved and our mouths have gotten smaller. But those back molars are still in our jaws. With some people, they break the surface of the gums, some do not. They WILL cramp all of your teeth if you don't get them removed (besides, they will make your mouth hurt SO bad because you just don't have room for them in there).
So, if the dentist tells you the wisdom teeth are ready to go--so you can get your braces.....then DO IT!

Answer 3

That is very personal. You'll be much better seeing a dentist than letting us play guessing games. Sorry, we cannot truthfully/truly answer your question. Good luck! Not everyone has trouble with wisdom teeth.

Answer 4

It might cause you to need braces if the incoming molars move your permanent teeth.

Answer 5

It depends on your mouth. Consult a dentist.
