August 3, 2009
Asked By:amyamj in NYC

I have one wisdom tooth that is fully grown sideways underneath my gums on the bottom left. I have some crowding on the bottom center. I would like to find out how the impacted tooth will affect the treatment.If I decide to have the wisdom tooth removed after the Invisalign treatment, will there be any shifting of teeth to its original position?
