I have to have my wisdom teeth removed, how long would I have to wait for invisalign?

Q. Hi I went for an invisalign consultation and they said I\’m suitable which is great but my dentist has told me I need my wisdom tooth extracting because it\’s going to cause trouble for the treatment. How long will I have to wait after I\’ve had the tooth extracted for the invisalign impressions? Thanks,

A. I doubt if your wisdom teeth would be involved in creating space for the Invisalign. You could have impressions and then have teeth out. The braces take 4-6 weeks to arrive which would give the sockets time to heal Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS
