Do I even need to get my wisdom teeth removed, If I still have braces on at the time they are growing in?
Hi I'm 13 right now and am in 8th grade. I recently got braces on. I have had them for about a half of a year in January. I'm supposed to have them on for two or three years depending on how well I take care and how much I keep up with my elastics when I get them later on. But by the time I'll get them off I will have to get wisdom teeth pulled. Since I'll still have the braces on when they come in do I even need them pulled? Thanks. And I know your not a dentist so how the h3ll am I supposed to know.

I got mine removed when I had braces when I was 14 years old. Now I am 16 and had my braces removed a week ago, having had them for 3 years and I am so glad i went through with the procedure. However, the four of them were very severely impacted and were pushing my teeth in a crooked direction and braces would have been a complete waste of money. My orthodontist now tells me that I'm extremely lucky I had them out because it relieved a hell of pain. It honestly does depend on the situation. I had mine removed by an oral surgeon.
