Is this a wisdom tooth already?!
Question: Is this a wisdom tooth already?
I'm only 15, though I do turn 16 in a little over 3 months.
So lately, my jaw has felt sensitive or hurt a little around where my upper-right top far back molar is. It reminds me a lot of tooth eruption when I think of it a little. Its either a wisdom tooth trying to come in or a really REALLY bad cavity and I'm thinking its the wisdom tooth.
Second question: Do I need to get that wisdom tooth taken out?
This has been really recent that I just started feeling it. I've had orthodontic work, and although the rest of my teeth have stayed straight that top right far back molar has been starting to twist out of place. I wear my retainers faithfully, so its not that.

Hi
Yes, probably is the wisdom tooth, they start moving around at this age, as you have gone through all the effort with orthodontic work, get to the dentist so they can take some xrays to assess where the tooth is and what angle it appears to be, this is important as wisdom teeth push the other teeth out of alignment.
