Consult needed: These types of questions cannot be answered with a blanket yes or no answer. We need a one on one clinical exam, a full set of x-rays, often study models & a careful evaluation of your particular situation. Even then, it usually requires a thorough & comprehensive discussion to explain it all to you. I strongly recommend you consult the best Oral Surgeon & Orthodontist for a joint consultation.

Diagnostic Process: So you have impacted teeth, extra teeth, crooked teeth, probably other teeth out of position, and who knows what else. Do you have enough bone material to support all your tooth material in good function? Will straightening teeth make them stick out? do jaws match each other? Etc. Please see a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist for an (usually free) Initial Examination. You'll be glad you did.
