Wisdom tooth growth
I recently noticed that wisdom tooth in the upper jaw has grown, do they cause protrusion of teeth? The teeth on my upper jaw look protruded by a few mm. How ever I do not have any pain (yet) but it seems like they are not growing in line with my teeth, a part of the wisdom tooth is touching my inner cheek. Pls suggest the best possible solution for this before it gets worse.
