Dozens of scientific articles have been published on the relationship between crowding and wisdom teeth.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They analysed different situations, groups such as:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people who have the wisdom teeth knocked out,&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people who had impacted wisdom teeth,&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people who have had their third molars removed after orthodontic treatment, and even<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people who had not developed wisdom teeth at all, i.e. people who had virtually no wisdom teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study tools were radiographs, analysis of plaster casts and clinical examinations. Different congestion indices were used as indicators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">83% of published papers found no correlation between incisor crowding and the presence of third molars. Therefore, it can be concluded that prophylactic (preventive) removal of wisdom teeth to avoid incisor crowding is not justified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scientific evidence suggests that there is no causal link between the presence of wisdom teeth and dental crowding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do wisdom teeth need to be removed before\/because of orthodontic treatment?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I often hear the following phrases at the first consultation:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\" I have not dared to go into orthodontics because I am afraid of wisdom teeth surgery \"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\" I know I had to pull my wisdom teeth before the treatment but I came for a consultation \" etc...<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orthodontic treatment alone does not indicate the removal of wisdom teeth. In other words, a simple orthodontic treatment does not require the removal of third molars. It is usually possible to move and arrange the teeth in the dental arch even in the presence of wisdom teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to remember, however, that each treatment is unique, so we also decide on the position of the wisdom teeth by analysing the situation and taking into account all the circumstances. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and a detailed treatment plan prior to orthodontic treatment is of paramount importance, including an analysis of the position, degree of development and root development of the wisdom teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In each case, we use a strategy and biomechanics that are appropriate to the treatment objective. Thus, for certain treatment steps and goals, or to reduce the treatment time itself, wisdom teeth removal may be recommended. For example, in the case of distalisation (moving the teeth backwards), the teeth can be moved more easily by removing the physical obstruction of the tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, the presence of wisdom teeth is not a barrier to orthodontic treatment, but an individual evaluation is always required. You will be informed of this at the first consultation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can anterior crowding be resolved by removing wisdom teeth?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it has already been shown, the appearance of anterior crowding has no relation to the presence or position of wisdom teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is clearly that the removal of these teeth is not sufficient to solve this problem effectively. (Unfortunately.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other problem is that wisdom teeth are the rearmost teeth in the dental arch, and in the case of crowding, the problem is in the front of the arch. So the space gained at the back is of very little, in most cases no, use to resolve this tooth misalignment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the treatment of malocclusion, the space needed to align the teeth is gained by other means. For example, expansion of the dental arches, polishing of the contact points of the teeth, correction of the inclination of the front teeth, etc...<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42607b4 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"42607b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/ksfogszabalyozas.hu\/en\/bejelentkezes\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">REGISTER FOR A CONSULTATION<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most, hogy m\u00e1r megismert\u00fck a b\u00f6lcsess\u00e9gfogak fejl\u0151d\u00e9s\u00e9t, n\u00e9zz\u00fck a b\u00f6lcsess\u00e9gfogakat \u00f6vez\u0151 m\u00edtoszokat: A b\u00f6lcsess\u00e9gfogak fogtorl\u00f3d\u00e1st okoznak.
