Will i need my wisdom teeth removed?!
Question: Will i need my wisdom teeth removed?
I am 17 and i have 24 teeth in total the same number in each section, i had 4 pulled out when i got braces
Because i got 4 pulled out does it mean there will be enough room for my wisdom teeth or basing it from your knowledge will they have to be removed?
its just when i look in the back of my gums i dont think ill be able to bite down proppaly if i get my wisdom teeth, because if i put my finger tip between my gums where they should come through i cant shut my mouth, and the teeth will be longer than a finger tip lenght. Judging by looking at my other molars
I know everyone case is different but basing from what ive said what would you say?

No, just because you got other teeth pulled doesn't necessarily mean that you will have room. In fact, I would guess that you would not have room...
most people do not have room for wisdom teeth. and generally dentists/orthos will recommend getting your wisdom teeth pulled if you have had braces bc if they do come in they can push on your other teeth, causing your teeth to shift.
of course, no one can tell for sure w/o seeing your x-ray...just ask at your next dentist appt. to see what he/she thinks.
hope this helps some :)
