Will I need braces now that I’ve had my wisdom teeth removed?

Q.
Hi

I just had my wisdom teeth removed beacuse they were blocking my molars from coming in. Will I need to get braces to make sure my molars come in prperley or will it just happen naturally?

A.
Hi
Really hard to gauge this, without seeing you as don’t know how much space there is, their size or orientation and your age. I would trust your dentist on this, but if you would like a second opinion, I recommend an orthodontist near you.
Good luck!
