I am getting four molars pulled out for braces and i still haven't gotten my wisdom teeth. should i wait?

No: First of all it's probably premolars, not molars, being removed. Check with your orthodontic specialist. Second, while wisdom teeth often have to be removed we can't move an entire arch of teeth back into wisdom teeth areas. They are separate and distinct issues. Again, ask your orthodontic specialist or your family dentist for explanation.
