Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I got braces and my orthodontist left the brackets off my wisdom teeth. My OS pulled my wisdom teeth with braces on! They were all the way in though. I was put under in the OS office and it only took 15 min total. It was painless and I was eating mashed potatoes and macaroni from KFC that night. I told my orthodontist i was on a short time line from the beginning due to moving this summer and he has been good about getting things done in a timely manner. When all is said and done I will have gotten braces, removed wisdom teeth, jaw suregery and removed braces in a year and a half.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well originally I thought I would be having them out at the same time as the jaw surgery but now I don't know. I suppose I'll get to ask in 15 weeks time...... Very impressed with your time line, might try and impress the need for urgency on my surgeon and orthodintist when I get there. > > > > I apparently need to have all four wisdom teeth out before the > > orthodontics can commence, hurrah! can anyone tell me how soon > after > > having them out they had braces on?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I had three out, two were quite impacted but I was told to wait a month.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 It was about the same for me the first time I had braces (way back when, before I knew this jaw surgery stuff even existed). It was necessary to remove the wisdom teeth to prevent any possible movement once my teeth were in the right place. > > I apparently need to have all four wisdom teeth out before the > orthodontics can commence, hurrah! can anyone tell me how soon after > having them out they had braces on? > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
