Do you think i should get braces before or after wisdom tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask Orthodontist: Ask your orthodontist specialist. Sometimes it's better to remove malpositioned wisdom teeth to facilitate tooth movement. Sometimes moving teeth can improve access to the wisdom teeth. Everyone is different, but it's a situation your orthodontist has been trained to evaluate.
