A member asked:

Got my braces removed and all four of my wisdom teeth are impacted at the moment. is there any chance of them erupting and ruining my straight teeth? should i get them removed even though they are not causing any pain?

Ideally, you should have all those extracted. Yes, they may mess up your well-adjusted teeth and cause other problems later on. Good luck.

The chances of one tooth exerting so much pressure to move the seven teeth anterior to it is not realistic. If extracting them poses no risk, then have them extracted... they will never do you any good.

If your wisdom teeth are impacted there is a 1 in 7 chance of damage to the surrounding bone, adjacent tooth roots, and or soft tissues. No, wisdom teeth will not cause anterior relapse. Not wearing retainers EXACTLY as directed will. See an Oral Surgeon for advice, and WEAR YOUR RETAINERS.
