Q. Will wisdom teeth affect the correction from braces?
Many people believe that wisdom teeth cause teeth to get crooked following braces. Research has shown that this is NOT true. It is true that teeth can move after orthodontics if retainers are not worn, but the teeth will move regardless of wisdom teeth being there or not. Even though they do not affect the orthodontics, wisdom teeth most likely will need to be removed due to other dental problems: nerve damage, infections, or other pathology. It is best to discuss with your family dentist for timing and need of removal. Dr. Jeremy Fry Fry Orthodontics
