I've had braces b4,will removing my wisdom teeth help my teeth straighten back the way it used to be? it's a little crooked i always wear my retainer

Wisdom teeth: No, removing wisdom teeth will not straighten incisors. There had to be some gaps in your retainer regimen to allow teeth to wander. Please return to your Orthodontic Specialist for evaluation.
