What's going on with my teeth?

So I just realized I have a tooth growing in behind my band (I've had braces since May) on the top right side. What tooth is this and is supposed to be growing in? Is it a wisdom tooth? Thanks

    Depends on your age. If you are around 12 years old, it is probably your permanent second molar which is also known as the 12 year molar (because it usually erupts around that age).

    If you are worried ask your orthodontist the next time you have it tightened and they should tell you whats happening :)
