Ortho needs to extract wisdom tooth for adult braces and i dont know?
Well, i've like partial braces on my top teeth and my teeth are not moving at all so the orthodontist told me i've to get one tooth extracted,he told me he would rather remove the one next to the wisdom tooth because it will be much easier for him to move the teeth after,and i was thinking i would rather extract the wisdom tooth because it's useless to me,but i just read how it is realy painful and have some risks to extract the wisdom tooth,and can cause permanent headache,is that true?
Answer
It seems pretty unusual to want to remove the 2nd molar rather than the wisdom tooth (3rd molar), but I'm sure your orthodontist has his reasons. As for wisdom tooth extractions causing a "permanent headache", I've only heard of that happening due to the bills!!
When you see the oral surgeon for an extraction consultation you might be able to get better answers. BTW, if your Ortho says he can do the extraction himself, please ask for a referral to a specialist! (source: Yahoo! Answers)
