For the proper diagnoses you need to see a dentist and get you opg done so that proper angulation of the teeth can be seen and it will be marked the how will be the position in mouth
If the tooth is to erupt in proper position and wait for it eruption but if it's angulation will n wrong then go for removal of the wisdom tooth

Wisdom teeth which are anything but in perfect orientation should be removed to prevent damage to adjacent teeth in short or long term. Get yourself assessed for the exact angulation of this particular tooth . Full jaw opg x-ray may be needed too
