[QUOTE="Josie, post: 513926, member: 1792"] I have all of my wisdom teeth. When my older daughter got braces, I took her around to several orthodontists. At least one of them pulled wisdom teeth routinely and told me they often cause problems later. Since I have all of mine with no problems and no one has ever expressed concern, I am skeptical and don't want hers removed just in case they are a problem later. The orthodontist we went to said it was 50/50 for her, but no one has mentioned it since and her braces are off. My husband's teeth did shift overnight. He woke up one morning and said he couldn't bite down. I'm sure it happened gradually and just got to that point when he noticed. He had a hormone problem that was causing his jaw to grow. It was tricky to diagnose and he spent months thinking it was TMJ. He was going to the surgeon to see about correcting it and luckily, this surgeon noticed that his jaw was growing. That led to the correct diagnosis. Before having her teeth removed, I would want to know why and how they moved. [/QUOTE]
