Question: Can i have other teeth pulled, to make room for my wisdom teeth? ?
Answers:
Yes but the timing is critical. Second molars can be extracted when the roots of wisdom teeth are just forming and this will give wisdom teeth the room to develop fully without space limitations and they will move forward and occupy the same position of the extracted second molars. The biggest advantage of "second molar replacement treatment" is it eliminates lower anterior crowding and greatly increases orthodontic stability (keeps teeth from getting crooked after braces are off). This concept is well known by functional orthodontists.

Dentists always do it the other way, remove the wisdoms to leave room for the molars. I don't know why. You could ask your dentist if there's a reason.
