The eruption of my wisdom teeth is ruining my Invisalign treatment. What should I do?

Q. hello i have just finished my Invisalign on my bottom teeth a few weeks ago, however my wisdom tooth has started to come through i was just a bit concerned it will push my teeth back to there old position. I am continuing to wear my aligner as I have not finished my aligners on my top teeth yet. Should I have this taken out?,

A. having a wisdom tooth should only be done if it is causing you pain/discomfort. It should not crowd your teeth, so long as you wear the retainer. Ask your dentist if you can both agree on its removal to avoid future problems Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS
