A member asked:
Can i wedge something between my wisdom tooth and molar to move the wisdom tooth back? i need to uncrowd my teeth

My word, no!: You can do irreparable damage to your gums and supporting bone. Please see your Dentist. If uprighting the wisdom tooth is appropriate, you should be referred to an Orthodontist. If removing the wisdom tooth is appropriate, you should be referred to an oral surgeon. This isn't a DIY project. Please get professional help.

No: Uncrowding teeth is a complex process. If you are serious about straightening your teeth, see an Orthodontist.
