Does Invisalign Require Removal of Wisdom Teeth?

Generally speaking, wisdom tooth removal has no bearing on orthodontics, whether Invisalign or wires and brackets.  The advice to remove them is based on each dentists views, beliefs or philosophy as quite often there are other reasons to remove wisdom teeth.

If your wisdom teeth are impacted, they will probably have no bearing on Invisalign treatment.  You should have them evaluated.  Depending on how they are sitting in the bone, if they are putting pressue on the roots of the molars right in front of them, over time they may cause problems. 

Since Invisalign does not move the molars very much if at all, there is no need to remove the wisdom teeth to prepare for Invisalign.  However, there may be other reasons to move wisdom teeth and your dentist may suggest their removal for one or more of these reasons.

Hi. . Invisalign doesn't require removal of unerupted wisdom teeth. These teeth may need to be removed for other reasons and thus it is best to consult with an oral surgeon about that.

Short answer...unerupted wisdom teeth would have no effect on Invisalign treatment and, although they might need to be extracted for other reasons, do not have to be removed for Invisalign
