Re: Wisdom Teeth Removal
wisdom teeth should not be pulled unless they are impacted or causing a problem. but i don't know about them needing pulled for braces. all i know is there is an orthodontist in oregon who does not believe in pulling teeth (that's what i always heard about him). i have been to his office. you might want to call him and see what he says about it. doctors fly people from all over the world who have messed up teeth. his name is terry dischinger (former portland trailblazer).
Dischinger practices orthodontics with his son, Bill Dischinger, in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Dischinger is considered nationally as a leader in both functional jaw orthopedics and orthodontic technology and has lectured extensively throughout the United States. i have actually been to his office. he is famous for never pulling teeth to put on braces. he is sent cases from all over the world. i would consult his office first before getting any teeth pulled. if you do have teeth pulled for any other reason, it is best to go to a biologic dentist so that you do not form a cavitation in your jaw.
