How long do i have to wait before i can get braces after having wisdom tooth removal?

2 weeks: I tell patients to wait at least 2 weeks after extractions prior to any other dental work that is not emergent. In some cases, people may still be sore or heal more slowly than others and in these cases i would wait until you feel better and your dentist or oral surgeon says it is ok to have braces.

A few weeks: It is going to take about 2 to 4 weeks for your gums to heal depending on the extent of your surgery, post operative complication and how quickly you can heal. Your dentist will be able too tell you when your gums and jaw are good enough o get dental work.

Ask yourself: It's a matter of comfort. Usually abut 2 weeks is sufficient, but everyone heals at a different rate, and healing is also determined by the extent of the surgery. Talk to your qualified orthodontic specialist. That's what they do all day long every day, so see the pro.
