Braces and wisdom tooth
Hello Doc,
Next week i am going for braces for case 2 upper forward teeth and overjet of 7-8mm.
Already extracted two premolars 4-4.
In xray i can see upper wisdom tooth coming but angle is not right it is touching my last upper teeth.
I am already in pain after two extractionns and i am really scared of wisdom tooth extraction.
please suggest can i get the wisdom tooth removed after braces treatment is over or should get it extracted before braces are applied?
need your advise and suggestion.

Hello dear....please consult your orthodontist for a proper treatment plan. He/she might know best. However, if your 3rd molar tooth is erupting, it might cause tooth movement after your treatment is complete due to eruption forces. Better to get it removed beforehand. Hope this helped.
