Wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth can be removed even if you have braces. If your dentist feels that all of them should come out and the timing is right, then yes you can have all of them removed. Even if two of your wisdom teeth are fine, the opposing teeth may supererupt over time. If both "fine" teeth are on same side, may not be necessary to remove. Your dentist can guide you as to best decision for you.

See below: Speak to your orthodontist and general dentist. Usually, all four third molars are addressed at one time and then you are done.

Wisdom teeth: Discuss this with the Dentist or specialist Orthodontist that is treating you. The best time to treat wisdom teeth should be determined by the Oral Surgeon that you are referred to for evaluation.
