Overcrowding question: Do teeth move back to their original positions after wisdom teeth removal?

I've got some minor - moderate overcrowding due to my wisdom teeth (I've got all 4 of them)





After 3 years of putting it off, I'm now getting them removed b/c the crowding is getting worse - as I'm typing this out I am literally feeling my teeth shift.





Do teeth move back to their original positions after wisdom teeth removal? or am I going to have to invest in some Invisalign to regain my perfect smile.

Overcrowding question: Do teeth move back to their original positions after wisdom teeth removal?
I've had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled at once and my other permanent teeth did not shift. However, at the time, I didn't have a problem with crowding. Even if your teeth does shift, it won't be to the extreme where it will go to its respectable place and become straight. I would recommend getting braces because they do a wonder when it comes to overcrowding and it will be well worth it :)
Reply:Your teeth will indeed move once there is room. This movement of teeth is the very basis for braces.
Reply:What did your dentist who took them out say looks like you might need braces
Reply:YES , YOUR GUMS SHRINK BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE YOU HAD WISDOM TEETH
Reply:I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed when I was 18, just BEFORE I had my braces removed. Then by the time I was 25 some of my lower teeth crowded together. So certainly removing your wisdom teeth still won't guarantee that you will avoid crowding.
Reply:They will move some. But possibly not enough. Talk to your dentist about it.
Reply:No your teeth will not move after you have your wisdom teeth removed.If you want them straight then you will have to get braces or invisalign (if you qualify for them).
