Wisdom teeth coming out with bracers on?
Question:
The problem is one of them is coming out now(I can feel the tip of it) but I still have my bracers on! I still need them till the end of the year but need the wisdow teeth removed before they start screwing up my teeth.
What am I going to do?
Answers:
Speak to your orthodontist about your concerns. She/he may refer you to their oral surgery department or indeed to your own dentist. I had braces for four years as a child and then later as an adult for cosmetic reasons. Its worth it - keep going!! My wisdom teeth were through and growing strong when I had my braces for the entire time, it was only I was in my early twenties that the bottom set had to be removed (no hassle really, honest!). So ASK!! And if they need to come out then no worries, and if not, then don't worry about it and let the professionals keep an eye on you. But in short, my wisdom teeth did not interfere with my long term brace use.
