Getting Braces After Pulled Wisdom Teeth?

Question

If I get my wisdom teeth pulled before I get Braces, how long after getting them pulled do I have to wait to get my braces?

Robert Waxler, DMD, MS · Answer

Ideally wait a couple of weeks so that you would not have any discomfort keeping your mouth open for awhile...everything else should be fine!

Kent Lauson, DDS, MS · Answer

There should be no reason for you to have to wait to get braces after wisdom teeth are removed. If the 3rd molar teeth are removed, and proper healing has taken place, then go ahead with the braces. Having 3rd molar teeth removed has just eliminated one of the reasons for having relapse after orthodontic treatment.

Normally the wait is a matter of weeks, just long enough for the tissue to close up. Since the treatment will be in front of the missing teeth, the void in the bone won't affect the treatment and braces can start right away.
