Can you still get Invisalign with your wisdom teeth still intact, or do they have to be removed?

Question

Supriya Verma, DMD, FAGD · Answer

Generally, it depends on the case.  It can be best to remove wisdom teeth prior to doing invisalign in cases of crowding. However, it may not be necessary in cases that have to much space and the space needs to be closed. Depending on your situation, you can get it worked up both ways; with and without the wisdom teeth and see if it will make a big difference.  The clin-check is a virtual movie of the movements necessary to achieve the final result. This way you can see it prior to making a decision of removing the wisdom teeth.  Hope that helps.

They do not have to be removed first in most cases, but it is usually better to remove impacted wisdom teeth for other reasons.
