Cramped Teeth?!
Question: I used to have resonably strait teeths but since the bottom 2 wisom teeth have been growing sideways into my teeth the bottom row have gotten really cramped and wonky. I had an appointment with the authodontist to see whether or not i neeed to get them removed soon but it was cancelled. The authodontist i saw origianaly told me that i needed to wait till i had finished growing but i am afraid that if i dont get them removed soon i will need to wear braces insted of them naturally spreading out like they are suppost to. by the way i am 14. Please help? thanks so much!

Do you have a dentist? If not, schedule an appointment with one, tell them your concerns, and ask them if you should have the wisdom teeth removed. From your description, I tend to think they will say "yes". Whether the wisdom teeth caused crowding or not is debatable and also depends upon your dental history -- something that cannot be evaluated in a forum such as this. Best wishes.
