Everyone’s dental situation and treatment needs are unique. But in most cases, the dentist will recommend wisdom teeth removal first, followed by orthodontic treatment. Below I will analyze it in detail from three aspects to help you better understand this suggestion.

Wisdom teeth, as "latecomers" in the human oral cavity, often begin to grow in adolescence. However, due to the gradual reduction of the jaw size of modern people, the growth space of wisdom teeth is limited, which can easily lead to problems such as wisdom teeth growing crookedly, squeezing adjacent teeth or causing inflammation. Therefore, removing wisdom teeth before orthodontic treatment can provide sufficient movement space for other teeth, which is conducive to the realization of orthodontic effects.

The main purpose of orthodontic treatment is to improve the alignment and occlusal relationship of teeth, improve aesthetics and oral health. After wisdom teeth are removed, the dentist can develop a more precise correction plan based on the actual condition of the teeth. In addition, orthodontic treatment usually requires a stabilization period to ensure that the teeth are growing firmly in their new positions. If wisdom teeth continue to grow or become inflamed during the correction process, it may affect the correction effect and oral health.

Although in most cases it is recommended to remove wisdom teeth before straightening, everyone’s situation is different. Some people may have normal growth of wisdom teeth and do not need to be removed; others may need to pay close attention to the growth of wisdom teeth during the correction process. Therefore, the best treatment plan should be determined based on the individual's specific situation and the professional advice of the dentist.

Although there is no fixed answer to "Which wisdom teeth should be removed first or teeth should be straightened first?", in most cases, it is a safer and more effective choice to remove wisdom teeth first and then straighten teeth. This recommendation is based on the potential impact that wisdom teeth may have on orthodontic treatment, as well as the differences in individual dental conditions and treatment needs.

If you are facing this problem, it is recommended that you consult a professional dentist to develop the most appropriate treatment plan based on your specific situation. Remember, the health of your teeth is just as important as their appearance, so make sure you fully understand the possible risks and consequences before making a decision.
