My wisdom teeth are coming in, and paranoid about crooked teeth?

they hurt all the time. i have always had very straight teeth (only one in my fam) i really hate crooked teeth. a friend told me that when your teeth come out the rest of the teeth have to move. thus making your teeth all nasty. what can i do to prevent them from getting crooked?

pull out the teeth under the wisdom teeth. sorry that the only way to prevent it from happening.
Reply:That's actually a myth that wisdom teeth shift your teeth. My dentist told me that a published study came out when he was in college that your wisdom teeth don't affect the position of your teeth. But it is recommended to get them out anyway for better oral hygiene. After they come out, you should get a lower permanent retainer. Your teeth will never shift if you get that bottom retainer cemented onto your teeth. Your teeth will shift and get crooked if you don't have a lower retainer.


EDIT: You said they're impacted; You need to have them looked at by your dentist. That's the only way you can really get rid of the pain. Don't wait too long because you could have/get an infection.
Reply:That is not necessarily true. If you have enough room in your jaw, you should not have problems with overcrowding. If you are having problems with your wisdom teeth and are in pain, they could be impacted (meaning they are partially erupted through the gum, but not all the way) and those can get infected. If the pain persists, you probably should to to the dentist and have them looked at.
Reply:the only way to prevent your dentition from crowding is to remove your wisdom teeth . By doing that, you will avoid 1. crowding 2. infection 3. more pain


Our jaw bones are getting smaller and many of us do not have room for the our wisdom teeth (3rds). The reason they hurt all the time is because they are pushing against your good teeth. Your wisdom teeth will come in wether you want it or not, so they will force themselves into your jaw bone, and if they are impacted (sideways) you probably wont get crowding, but you are suceptable to infection. Because your wisdom teeth far back, and your molars are impacted, your toothbush cannot reach back there, so you can get infections. Also, dentists suggest that you get your wisdom teeth removed when you are young, rather than when you are older. The older you are, more healing time is required (although varies on the individual). I used to work for an oral surgeon and our job was 70% wisdom teeth extractions. 16-23 would be a good age to get them removed, but if they are hurting, i would see a dentist for their opinion. Good luck.
