Do I have to extract my wisdom teeth before Invisalign?

Doctor's Answer

There is no fixed rule on whether or not wisdom teeth have to be removed before Invisalign treatment. If the wisdom teeth interfere with the planned tooth movements, we will advise patients to have them removed before we start the treatment.

We would suggest that you see an orthodontist for a thorough examination and consultation. X-Rays may need to be taken during the appointment. Hope this helps!
