Invisalign/Braces
I have had braces done around 7 years ago and currently have a relapse. Additionally, my jaw joints have been hurting and the pain triggers a headache. Upon doing an OPG my wisdom tooth were seen near. My doctor recommended braces again since there is still overcrowding and overbite. Would you recommend braces with the chances of my wisdom tooth erupting any time soon?

Hi
You are probably facing crowding again due to a phenomenon called late incisor crowding when the third molars push all the teeth in front to make space for it to erupt.
Next Steps
You should get the wisdom teeth removed soon, also since there might only be slight crowding, your treatment will get over quickly.
Health Tips
Try to keep your face and jaws relaxed.
Avoid opening the mouth very wide.
Keep yourself hydrated and healthy.
