Don't count on it: Sometimes wisdom teeth can erupt in such a poor alignment that it can crowd the teeth in front of it. But to hope that the force would close a diastema (space between other teeth,) notably the front two upper or lower teeth, is not a high probability.

No Chance: However, there will be no problem getting your braces to close the diastema, on 2 weeks after removing your wisdom teeth. Ask your orthodontist for more information.
