A member asked:
Can a fully erupted wisdom tooth move its position omce its erupted for a few years or once its out it stays put?

Wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth once fully erupted tend to stay in the same place as long as there are no other missing teeth in front of it and the opposing teeth are present. However, with missing teeth either next to or in the opposite arch, there can be some drifting over time.

Tooth movement: All teeth move over your lifetime. It's not like putting a steel post into concrete. Yes, wisdom tooth can move, especially if the is no adjacent or opposing tooth. Please see your Dentist.
