My teeth barely have any room?!


Question: My teeth barely have any room?
I am 14 and my 12 year molars just started to come in in August. They are way against the back of my jaw so I'm figuring my wisdom teeth must be under them if this is possible since there is no room behind. I know that there is no way I will ever be able to live with my wisdom teeth but do you think I will have to get my 12 year molars out, too? The crowding is making all my front teeth overlap, too. If they were straight even less teeth would fit...

I know this isn't really a question, but does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

Answers:

You need molars for chewing. The more you have the best. The less you have at any early age is not good. An orthodontist would need to assess your dentition (teeth) and propose a plan on how to solve your overlaping. Wisdom teeth will erupt when you are 18-23, and your jaw would have grown by them to accomodate them. The normal plan is to remove a pre molar as you have 2 of them and the gap is easy to close with a brace as they will move your other pre molar around slightly to close the gap. I have assisted in the removal of all 4 first molars to make room but not your second molars. Ask your dentist or Orthodontist.
