Will wisdom teeth affect orthodontics?
This is uncertain. If your bones are long enough to grow wisdom teeth, and the growth direction of wisdom teeth is normal, it is possible to grow them smoothly. However, if the length of the bone is not long enough for wisdom teeth, or if the wisdom teeth grow in an abnormal direction and are impacted forward, they may be squeezed into the front teeth, resulting in irregularity. In this case, wisdom teeth need to be removed in time.

If you want to keep your teeth tidy, the most important thing is to keep wearing the retainer. Because even without wisdom teeth, it is possible that the crowding will recur because of the tendency of teeth growing forward. Therefore, the view of some foreign doctors is to wear retainers for life. (Of course, the daily wearing time can be gradually reduced. Please consult your orthodontist for details, and it will be decided according to your own situation. )
