Normally, the permanent teeth will come in when we are about 6-7 years old and completely complete when we are 11-13 years old. But wisdom teeth usually only grow when people have reached adulthood (18 years old). At this time, there will be 2 main factors affecting the misalignment of wisdom teeth.Video content is professionally consulted by Doctor of Dental - Jaw - Facial - Department of Examination & Internal Medicine - Vinmec Hai Phong International General Hospital.
1. Causes of wisdom teeth misalignment
According to a specialist doctor, the following factors have been identified as the main causes of misaligned wisdom teeth.
Because the jawbone is harder, the soft tissue layer in the gums is also very thick and strong, making it as difficult for a wisdom tooth to grow as a sprout from a stone. Because the jawbone structure of Asians is often narrow. When a wisdom tooth grows in the same side of the jaw, because there is not enough room for their size, of course they will be misaligned, tilted or sometimes completely under the gums. Dentists will usually classify wisdom teeth that are misaligned into the following categories:
Wisdom teeth that erupt close to wisdom teeth that are far apart Wisdom teeth that erupt on the cheek.

2. So should wisdom teeth be extracted or not?
Usually, if there is no pain in the position or wisdom teeth eruption, you will not know if the 4 potential wisdom teeth under the gums are intended to appear in your life or not. But once it hurts, sure, wisdom teeth will cause you more discomfort than comfort.
If the wisdom tooth is partially displaced, the distance between the 7th tooth and the misaligned wisdom tooth will be a "mysterious land" that toothbrushes of all kinds can hardly go to clean. At that time, leftover food will accumulate, bacteria thrive and over time can cause tooth decay, break tooth enamel leading to pulpitis, gingivitis. At that point, you will have to have your wisdom teeth removed.
In the rest of the cases, the pain will most likely not go away on its own. You will need the intervention of a doctor to remove the tooth if you do not want the pain to continue to torment. But anyway, wisdom tooth extraction only needs up to 4 times (in case all 4 of your wisdom teeth are growing and causing pain), the rest is definitely after the extraction, you will never see another one. Which tooth is grown in the position that I have extracted.
However, in the case of people aged about 40 years and older who have wisdom teeth that are misaligned without causing pain, without stabbing teeth 7, doctors may advise you to consider not extracting because of the risk of teeth erupting to puncture. 7 teeth are very few, while the ability to recover after extraction is worse than young people, so if they can live peacefully, it's okay to leave wisdom teeth misaligned.
