Does anyone have any wisdom teeth coming in straight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many adults are able to maintain and keep there wisdom teeth and use them as any other tooth, but it is more common for them to be nonfunctional and need to be removed. It all depends on jaw size and how much room if available.
