A member asked:
Do i even need to get my wisdom teeth removed if i have braces on at the time they are growing in?

Probably yes: The erupting wisdom teeth exert a force on the teeth in front of them. This may hinder the correct positioning of your teeth.

It depends: If the wisdom teeth are not interfering with the orthodontic treatment, then you do not have to take them out, but if they are pushing against other teeth, then yes they must be removed.
