I started my Invisalign treatment, and my ortho now recommends that the 2 wisdom teeth be removed because the trays are not covering them, and therefore they might affect the treatment. Is this true? Will there be any other adverse effect by removing my wisdom teeth mid treatment? I am also curious because all the trays have already been made with the ends of them stopping suddenly at the wisdom teeth, once these are removed, wouldn't that require refinements, and new trays?
Having those teeth removed will not affect the trays you have now nor will it affect results if you are wearing your aligners 24/7. You may need refinement regardless of whether the teeth are removed or not. I usually find with most of my cases I need some refinement near the end of treatment. I do, however, recommend you having the 3rd molars (wisdom teeth) removed to avoid any future problems.
Best regards!
