I'm actually getting some orthodontics done now, decided to do it before TTC next year.

Firstly, I am booked in to get surgery to remove all 4 wisdom teeth on the 2nd of September
but before that I am seeing an orthodontist about any extra teeth that may need to be removed from my bottom jaw because I have severe crowding.

My thoughts have been all this time- I'm getting 4 teeth removed, 2 of these are fully grown wisdom teeth down the bottom. Wont that free up enough space without having to remove any extra teeth for Invisalign?

If the ortho suggests any extra teeth need to be pulled I am going to get a 2nd opinion. Like many of you, I would rather go the no extractions way... I'm fine with having my Wisdom teeth out because they actually cause me quite a bit of pain but I don't see why normal teeth should be taken out.

My sister had worse crowding than I, and she recently had normal braces put on. No extractions were required!!! She saw her dentist and within 2 weeks had braces on. Her teeth are already looking GREAT.
