Asking For Self, Female 19, karachi
both of my lower wisdom teeth are slanted.i was wondering if have to get these removed as i also have to get braces.Do impacted wisdom teeth get in the way of braces treatment?
If they are not bothering you so it can be left however please get full mouth X-ray to rule out if side tooth is not getting carious that’s more important, second question not really
Yes impacted teeth can post anterior teeth and can interfere with the treatment of braces. Better get it removed beforehand
send OPG x ray
impacted wisdom teeth should be removed as they destroy the adjacent teeth
well better to get rid of them before proceeding for braces.
it would lead to extra trouble and sometimes breakage of the appliance.
not really ... for the complete evaluation you need to get an OPG x ray done and with the help of that x ray everything can be cleared whether its mandatory to remove them or you can just keep them for future use

aoa..Kindly consult a dentist he will evaluate ur condition n wll plan accordingly. impacted teeth must be removed because in future they wll cause u problem. better to get urself checked by a dentist
you need to visit a near by dental clinic for proper clinical evaluation and treatment planning. Book an appointment from Marham
aoa yes they can impact the treatment .but the final decision will be of the orthodontist
For best treatment options you must visit us for clinical examination
1. Advisable is to visit dentist for clinical evaluation
2. Further evaluation is depend on OPG(xray) and clinical examination
3. Usually wisdoms are not a part of ortho treatment but again as the dentist need to evaluate future pros and cons e.g let's say they'll erupt completely or may cause food impaction in between your molars will lead to extraction or dentist need to work on your 7s teeth but because of interference and improper positioning of your wisdom it'll alter treatment.
4. Wisdoms are like optional, if they're not irritating or disturbing let it be there otherwise we dentist as safety precautions after evaluation advise for extractions so that you can be safe from future cost and pain.
Yes, these can be remove during treatment as well. your orthodontist will refer as per his/her treatment planning.

wisdom teeth usually dont get in the way of ortho or braces treatment but you should attach your OPG so we can guide you better.
Hi
it's always a good idea to get rid of the tilted wisdoms before orthodontic treatment starts.
