How long does it take for your wisdom teeth to grow?

How long does it take for your wisdom teeth to fully grow in?

  • I just turned 16 literally 3 days ago, on the 21st, and my mouth pains started then. A couple days before that I was sick with a fever, and then my gums started hurting really bad, and so did my teeth. So I looked in the mirror, and looked at my teeth, and all four of my wisdom teeth are starting to break through! It really hurts, but my mom got me Orajel. The things i'm worried about is that its pushing my teeth together, and one of my front teeth is starting to turn a little bit, and what I see theres barely enough room for them to grow in, so how long will it take? And if I get the teeth extracted, will I need braces to straighten those teeth again?

  • Answer:

    It really depends. I started getting pains when I was about 20, and got them pulled at 21. All four were impacted and it was not fun. I did lose five pounds in a week though! I just ate lots of instant mashed potatoes, chicken broth and pudding. I'm not sure on the braces, that'll be something you need to ask your dentist. I would definitely make an appointment soon though. Mine have always been a bit crooked on the bottom front anyway, but I just think of that as a little quirkiness to me. ;)

You should see a dentist as soon as possible because they may want to extract them before they mess up your teeth worse if you don't have room for them. Also if they start pushing and make your front teeth or other teeth crooked then you will probably need braces. Just see what the dentist says and ask him if you will need braces after they come in or if you could save the money that you pay for braces by getting them extracted.
