Get impacted wisdom tooth removed before starting invisalign?

Q. Hello Can I have an impacted wisdom tooth removed before starting Invisalign because food keeps getting stuck after each and every meal and it is a real bind! If so, how soon after having it removed can I start the Invisalign process? Would you recommend I had it out before or after the treatment?

A. I would recommend having the problmatic wisdom teeth removed before starting Invisalign treatment. You would be best waiting approximately 2 months before commencing Invisalign treatment and impression taking.
