Can a upper wisdom teeth cause a misaligned bite?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They can, as when they are erupting they can shift the alignment of your teeth by a crowding effect.

Old wive's tale. There are many causes for destabilization of tooth alignment that all seem t come to a head about the same time that wisdom teeth are trying to erupt. The poor wisdom teeth get blamed, but are really only about (and I'm being generous here) 10% responsible for occlusal destabilization. Before it gets worse, see an Orthodontist.
