Wisdom Teeth - Their affect on the other teeth


As wisdom teeth develop and erupt, they push in a forward direction.  During this time, many dentists and patients have reported seeing increased crowding in their lower front teeth.  It is believed that this crowding is caused by the eruption forces exerted by the wisdom teeth.
 
It may be beneficial to have wisdom teeth removed to deter such outcomes.
