In preparation for orthodontics, some orthodontists may advise the removal of impacted wisdom teeth to reduce the risk of relapse. However, this is not always necessary and the decision has to be made by the orthodontist in consultation with the patient.
Gum contouring is a separate issue to orthodontics and there are many ways that this can be done. Do note that the gums can relapse after contouring if nothing is placed to maintain the gum margins.
In the decision on this, please do be aware that the gum position may change after orthodontic treatment so it may be better to do this after completion of the orthodontic process.
