I agree with docgobbler - this is a very much misunderstood subject. It seems to make sense, but the studies show that it is not completely true. You can get crowding on your lower front teeth even without having any wisdom teeth. Crowding happens to all of us as we get older, whether we have wisdom teeth or not, and whether we've had braces or not. Here is one of the studies I was talking about:

Wisdom Teeth Pushing Front Teeth

You all are screaming wrong and no and we don't know what we're talking about. This drift this crowding you speak of... Why is it that ALL of these people only had it when the wisdom teeth grew it. My bottom wisdom teeth are growing in a way where it is pushing my teeth. It is so painful. I hardly have any gums. I got the left one out and the pushing and pressure ceased. My right one is coming in and just like the left one it has caused the tooth next to it to crack and my teeth and painfully pushing together. I bet as do as they remove my right one this normal crowding will stop. It's not like we're all retards -____- it's just this happened when the wisdom teeth grew in. The second my left one was out it completely stopped. Is that just a coincidence for both sides. Because both sides did this crowding at different times. Only when the wisdom tooth was coming up.

Wow, what a bunch on folks answering who know nothing. That's why one must be careful on these forums. NO... wisdom teeth will not cause your teeth to bunch up. If they were capable of moving teeth then none would ever be impacted; they'd push their way in. The fact is, they will grow until the hit something and then stop. Teeth [especially lower front ones] tend to crowd up because all teeth grow towards the midline [that's what keeps them from growing down our throat!] and the constant pressure that keeps them together tends to make the lowers crowd up. I've seen many many many patients with NO wisdom teeth who have crowding.

Yes, they can and most likely will. I don't know of an exact amount of time for them to come through. If your wisdom teeth are coming in straight your front teeth shouldn't have any pain nor will you notice a HUGE difference. If they're growing in sideways, that can be a problem and you'll have to get them removed because they can cause over bites and uncomfort.

Absolutely! I'm 30 and all of my wisdom teeth have been in and are still there. They pushed my teeth toward the front and caused them to bunch and be crooked.
So now I have braces to correct the problem. I kept my wisdom teeth because they've never caused me any problems at all just not a lot of room now.

Wow, lots of wrong answers here. Im a 3rd year dental student. 3rd molars DO NOT cause crowding. Our teeth, specially the lowers, are involved in a phenomenon called "mesial drift" which basically means that our teeth have a tendency to drift towards the midline. Its a natural process that occurs with or without 3rd molars.
For those that are getting braces to fix the problem...why do you think you wear retainers after the braces have been removed? Its because you'll get movement of teeth. It has nothing to do with your 3rd molars causing crowding. If you have braces and you dont keep up with the retainer...there's a good chance you'll develop crowding later.
Come on people, please dont give advice unless you really know what you are talking about.

yes. Personal experience. When My widsom teeth came in my front bottom teeth were pushed in, turned and pushed up as well. I had straight teeth before and now they are all over the place. Its highly important to have your wisdom teeth removed even if you are not in pain. I waited to long and now am spening 20 times the amount to get my teeth re straighten.

Yes they will push together. The best website you can go to, in order to find out everything on specialist wisdom teeth removal, costs, stories related to wisdom teeth, IV sedation vs GA or plain LA, post operative care (including diets), complications (like numb lip) as well as newsletters about wisdom teeth, is http://www.oceansurgical.com.au .... Good luck, I hope everything goes well for you! And remember, only go to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to have your wisdom teeth removed. You can find out about OM surgeons in your Australian town by going to http://www.anzaoms.org
