Can any dentist help me pls?
i am 20 this year. last year, i than realised that i have 4 impacted wisdom tooth, moreover i have alot of have very big fillings. the doctor say i am not very suitable for braces, cos i have too many big filling. he say i must extract my wisdom tooth first. but is it true that if u have big filling u are not suitable for braces? when i was a kid, i did not take good care of my oral health. now i really very regret. I have brush three to four times daily and also floss at night and i also use mouthwash to prevent decay. because of the effort i put in, i don have dental decay anymore. but i relly need to put on braces, cos both of my front tooth look like rabbit tooth. and my bottom tooth is biting on my front tooth gum. ever since i was a kid, classmates always bully me and called me names, nothing i can do but only cry in slient. any dentist out there who can try to help me for wisdom tooth extraction and braces at a affortable price for me? i am able to pay $200 per mth

Get in touch with Capital One or go to a dentist's office and ask for Care Credit paperwork.
The wisdom teeth should be removed prior to braces. The fact that they will have to be surgically removed (not as bad as it sounds) does have an effect on the rest of your teeth; stopping orthodontic therapy. They would stay in your gums and push the other teeth, which would not be constructive to what the braces are intended for.
The large fillings, if silver, may concern the dentist due to the fact that they expand and contract with hot/cold foods/drinks over time. This will lead to re-decay as food and bacteria can get between the filling and your teeth. That and you may bite down on something particularly hard or at a bad angle, and chip/fracture a tooth or filling. You may have to remove arch wire, bracket, or even a band to have the tooth repaired: all of which have an effect on your therapy.
