22 yr old - braces
I had braces when I was around 15-16 yrs old . At that time the doctor mentioned that i may need to remove my 4 teeth to help the teeth move more inside but I refused . I don't remember having wisdom tooth at that age . However I am 22 now and I plan on getting braces again as my teeth have come more front . This dentist is suggesting to remove the 4 wisdom tooth as it's exerting pressure . Is it enough or do I need to get more teeth removed
