wisdom teeth extraction

Hello! A week ago tomorrow I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted. Recovery reguarding the extraction sites has been really great and painless, other than swelling. As of a few days ago my bottom front teeth are feeling really "tight," like there is alot of pressure. Has anyone experianced this before? Would getting my wisdom teeth extracted cause my teeth to move closer together? I know that seems crazy, but I am wondering what is wrong!

It is not your imagination as I experienced the same feeling. I had several teeth pulled and had implants because I has what is referred to as milk teeth. They were brittle and often broke off. It is caused from a lack from calcium when my birth mother was pregnant with me. I had alot of toothaches when I was young and when I got in my teens my Dad had them replaced with implants.
Sorry for all that info:)
But I felt the same way, It will get better though.

HI!  Why don't you call the doctor who extracted your wisdom teeth.  I'm glad it's going well for you.  I'm sure your doctor can give you an explanation of what's happening.
