Another tooth extraction question?

I'm just wondering will my wisdom tooth move forward to where my molar was extracted?

Another tooth extraction question?
There could very well be some shifting.


It could actually affect that whole side of your mouth, depending on your age.


I had a molar (#19) extracted when I was just 11 years old. There are tiny spaces between all of the teeth on that side of my mouth. It's not noticeable unless you're really looking in my mouth, but my wisdom tooth did come in and the molar beside it are now a little crooked. It does not effect the appearance of my smile, however.


The teeth on the right side of my mouth are perfectly straight.


Ask your doctor about options to keep your teeth from shifting. He'll let you know what would be best for you.

Reply:It's not likely to. It's pretty firmly embedded in your jaw.
Reply:It depends on when the molar was extracted.





My wisdom teeth did move forward on my upper jaw, where I had a molar removed on each side in the back.
Reply:shifting of the wisdom(3rd molar) tooth in such a short time could mean that during the extraction of the 2nd molar the 3rd molar was moved (dislodged) during manipulation. If the shifting comes along the years; the process is a natural one, where all teeth tend to move forward and to the middle line. that is why at older ages teeth tend to be not as aligned as they where.
