Yes, many people are missing 1,2,3 or even all of their wisdom teeth. Missing wisdom teeth or tooth is the most common place to be missing teeth.

some people dont have any, I only have 3, I had a friend who had 2 sets so he had 8. everyone is different.

It happens. I only had 3...one just never existed. You are lucky. Even with 3, having them out was still terrible!

That can be normal. Also, the other ones may not have grown in yet.

dont panic some people dont get them at all be thankful as they can be painful mine have been in the same position (partly erupted ) for 5 yrs

I only had 3, perhaps its evolution working in our lives.

don't sweat it. i was missing 1 but had to go through extraction for the other three. normal or not, i wish i only had 1!

Yes, everyone is different. I never had any wisdom teeth.

Having 4 wisdom teeth is normal. Sometimes you think you don't have them but, they are under the gums which you call impaction, and still it's normal. There are also times when you really won't have all of it (congenital absence) and it's called anodontia. Having 1 or 2 missing wisdom teeth is really common and is called hypodontia (partial anodontia). Don't worry at least you'll have to go through the surgery once. I had my 4 wisdom teeth surgically removed because they were all impacted before I had my braces.
