Wisdom tooth?

Hey guys, one of my wisdom teeth on the bottom of my jaw, is painful when I chew on it, other than that it's fine? I have no idea what's wrong but I tried keeping it as clean as possible. Another thing, I had braces last time, so now after almost 1.5 years after removing it. I feel my front teeth moving, I'm 17, I already had two of my lower wisdom teeth.

The top ones haven't developed yet, I'm worried that it's trying to emerge out and pushing the teeth in front. Can I extract it before it's even out yet? Thanks

  • You can consult your dentist regarding that matter. I'm wearing braces right now, and my dentist said that my wisdom teeth (both) may affect the arrangement of my teeth. She wants me to have x-ray pictures with my wisdom teeth to know whether she needs to remove both or leave it alone. One way or another, i think you should see your dentist as we both don't know how it will turn out. You should, as it's still possible that it will move your teeth even if you're already done with braces. :)

    yes wisdom teeth that are not fully erupted can still be extracted and yes your teeth can move after braces if you are not wearing a retainer
