Ingrown molar

I am having an ingrown 2nd molar still underneath the bone and has gone in the direction of pushing till the first molar. And the wisdom tooth has already came out but has came out in a diagonal way whereby it has blocked the way of the 2nd molar and yet the 2nd molar is still not grown out. Should i carry out an operation to take out the 2nd molar or should i just leave it and not do anything about it.

By the way. the ingrown 2nd molar has not had much effect in major toothaches. But just very seldom, I should say last time i had toothaches at my pre molar and my 1st molar.

My doctor told me only if i do braces, then this 2nd molar will have an issue. Otherwise if i don't do any braces, it would not have any issue. Any experienced personnel pls share your experiences with me. thanks :)
