Wisdom Teeth Extraction During Invisalign Treatment?

October 15, 2009
Asked By:user102109 in toronto

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?
