Wisdom teeth pulled out =S?
No, they are not wisdom teeth, they are your 12-year-old molars (2nd molars).


I have never seen wisdom teeth (3rd molars) in anyone under 16 years old, and I've been a dentist for 25 years.


As for your crooked teeth, consult an orthodontist for an opinion. They will not remove molars of any type in such cases, but I can't speculate further on possible treatment.


However, a panoramic radiograph (OPG) will show whether you are growing wisdom teeth under the bone, and it may be something you have to plan for the future.
Reply:Yes. If the dentist say so, and there's no room in your mouth, out they will come. It could also help with the crookedness, more room for your teeth to spread out.
Reply:Yes, getting your wisdome teeth out is important for many reasons. first, it will reduce the crowding of your adult teeth, and will help to straighten them out a bit, you may have to wear braces for a bit. Also, not removing them can cause terrible headaches, jaw problems like TMJ. I would get them out as early as possible, it keeps you from having other terrible problems and it may be the reason your teeth are crowded.
Reply:It will help with the crooked teeth if you get them taken out. Both my sons had their out and I had one taken out. (I only had 3 so they took the one out and lef the others as I have a big mouth. LOL) Neither of my sons had any problems, have never had braces and their teeth are quite straight.
