Do my wisdom teeth need extracion?

Hi all,

I am 26 yo and I need to use braces, mainly because my lower jaw teeth are crooked.

The PROBLEM is that my lower wisdom teeth are positioned very badly and my doctor told me he will not remove them.
Please see X-ray.

Should I remove these teeth before having braces put? Will I have problems in the future if I dont remove them?

Cheers ;)

If your wisdom teeth cause no problems there is no reason to remove them, but your's are really bad. They may not cause you any problems in the future, it's only when they are impacted that they cause problems.  If in the future you do have any issue with them, you can always have them removed then.  Most dentists are all about removing the wisdon teeth so I have to think that your dentist is being honest in seeing no problem with yours.  Hope this helps!
