Obviously, I'll be talking to my orthodontist about this, but I'm a little concerned that nothing has been said about it already. I start my invisalign tomorrow, for a 5 month treatment, but over the weekend felt what I'm assuming is a wisdom tooth poking through my gum on the upper-left, back side of my mouth. There is no pain, nor has there been any. About 1 1/2-2 months ago I had panoramic x-rays done for my invisalign and about two-three weeks ago my treatment plan was sent to invisalign for approval/tray creation. At no time has anyone said wisdom teeth are an issue. Also, previous dentists have not told me that its imperative that I have wisdom tooth removal. However, I've been reading that wisdom teeth can cause crowding and I'm afraid that if this tooth causes that while I'm doing my invisalign, it will be counterproductive. I'm also thinking that since nobody said there were any problems I'm ok, and that I can just have the tooth removed after my treatment if need be.
I'm starting invisalign tomorrow and I'm concerned about a possible wisdom tooth. Any help?
If the dentist didn't say anything about the wisdom teeth, they must not be a problem. So, you're right, they'll probably be removed after your treatment if need be.You don't need your wisdom teeth and they will need to be removed before they cause any problems.
