Had an x-ray 13 months ago on all teeth. could a wisdom tooth be formed when you are 27?

Yes: A wisdom tooth can be present at the age of 27. The x-ray you had taken 13 months ago should not only show all the teeth, but the entire maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) structures. Some wisdom teeth may not be visualized on x-rays unless all of the structures of the upper and lower jaws can be visualized.

Eruption of Wisdom : Teeth is from 17-21. Some third molars have no room to emerge in the mouth due to lack of space in the jaw either because they are partially or fully covered by bone and soft tissue. X-rays like panoramic can reveal impacted teeth.
