Will my wisdom teeth push my teeth closer together and close my gaps?

A person told me that when my wisdom teeth grow in they%26#039;ll fill in all the gaps in my teeth, so now I%26#039;m really curious. My teeth are like all straight in a line and I only have just a couple gaps between my teeth which arent very big. My wisdom teeth are already starting to grow in and so far I think my teeth have moved closer together. Does anybody know if the growth of wisdom teeth will push my teeth closer together and close those gaps?


(I really wanna avoid braces..)

Will my wisdom teeth push my teeth closer together and close my gaps?
yeah could. It really depends on how they are growing in. Ask your dentist.

Reply:i havent ever heard of that
Reply:the answer is no
Reply:ok so yes they will get closer together but eventually they are going to become crowded and you are just gunna need braces ne ways that is exactly what happened to my husband! no he has one crucked tooth on the bottom
Reply:im not really sure--i work at an orthodontist but i never really thought of that.





braces do stink, i had them too. BUT you can try invisalign...if your teeth only have a couple gaps the time you had the clear retainers would be really short probably.





if your curious about teeth growth..you can go to a dentist or schedule a first appointment with an orthodontist--most..well the good ones do new patients for free..just to give you a conseltation on what a possible treatment would be. he could also answer your questions.





ive seen people with just a couple gaps who use invisalign. they swear on it over braces.





hope i helped!
Reply:Probably not unless they grow like side ways and don%26#039;t hurt like hell.
Reply:That%26#039;s possible, it%26#039;s also possible that too much crowding can occur and the end result are crooked teeth.
Reply:They can if they grown in straight and healthy, but they are more likely not to.





There are A LOT of bad things that can happen if you don%26#039;t get those teeth pulled. It%26#039;s not good to let them grow in. They collect bacteria, cause infections, and they hurt like hell! Get them pulled ASAP!
Reply:They could
Reply:i have had wisdom teeth in the past thy did not close any gaps but i did have 3 of them removed speak to your dentist there might not be any need to have them removed you might be able to live with them
Reply:Yes, I believe it is possible for this to happen, depending on the position of your wisdoms. if they are coming on horizontally, there is a greater chance that they will affect your other teeth. Your dentist can tell you whether or not you%26#039;re at risk.
Reply:Ask the dentist, it is possible. I overheard my dentist telling some teenagers mom that his wisdom teeth coming in might close up a lot of the gap from the tooth he had just pulled.
Reply:Maybe. I do know as mine came in they pushed my teeth together which were already quite tight and the front ones started to buckle backwards. They were removed before this got bad enough to need correction but the evidence they caused some sort of change was there.





I%26#039;m not so certain that I would prolong needed dental work in hopes that will fix it. Too many maybes involved and some people never get wisdoms and others it just causes more problems than they%26#039;re worth. So you might be one of the lucky few who never need to have their wisdoms pulled but I%26#039;d ask your dentist and if you don%26#039;t feel real confident about his answer get a second opinion!
Reply:i really don%26#039;t know the answer because i am not your dentist,and i am not a dentist myself. i just think that if the wisdom tooth grows diagonally, it would impact on the tooth next to it. so it may cause you teeth to move. but i think it would be long if you do not have braces and would cause awful pain. but, if the wisdom tooth grows vertically, i think it would not cause the other teeth to move.
Reply:It is likely that they will. if you have never been to the orthodontist get an appointment with them, the sooner the better. If they would have thought that your wisdoms would cause a problem with your teeth they would have had them removed don%26#039;t worry you probably wont need braces(comming from someone who had them for 5 year and her wisdom teeth out when she was 14 its not all that bad) but definitely get an ortho appointment if its bugging you.
Reply:I%26#039;m 35 years old and I have braces on because I let my wisdom teeth grow in and they crowed my mouth and made my teeth all crooked%26gt; I had braces when I was 17 and let me tell you my mom is pissed that she spent all that money.

  1. LOL! dont listen to that one post, they dont hurt if they are positioned properly, you may feel slight discomfort from the teeth cutting through the gums but it is not horrid pain. if they hurt that means they are growing crooked and intersecting with your molars. As for bacteria and infection, LMAO!! Is your dental hygiene THAT bad? hahaha. they will not harness ANYTHING if you brush your teeth properly and regularly. As for the closing the gap, it most likely will seeing as there is only so much room in a mouth, especially once the wisdoms come in :)
