If the wisdom teeth are impacted and embedded in the bone, the dentist will put an incision into the gums and remove the tooth or teeth in sections in order to minimize the amount of bone being removed. Some pain and swelling may occur, but it will normally go away after a few days; however, you should call your dentist if you have prolonged or severe pain, swelling, bleeding or fever.
Removal of wisdom teeth due to crowding or impaction should not affect your bite or oral health in the future.
If surgery is completed, swelling and tenderness in the face and neck are common, as is bruising. Ice packs and pain medications prescribed by the dentist or oral surgeon will help.
Next Steps
Visit the clinic for clinical examination and Radiographic evaluation.

You’re 20 years old .. unless the impaction is causing any trouble I wouldn’t suggest removal.. if you’re planning gap closure after tooth removal it is going to be long and time taking.. a Cbct X-ray would be better to decide the same

As the tooth is deeply impacted and proximity of nerve is seen on OPG I would suggest ( if there’s no pain or any plans of alignment) then better to wait for 3-4 years. And if you have pain or any plans on further treatment better to go for CBCT scan and then the surgery needs to be done by Oral surgeon.
