Hi, i would like to know a way to save my remaining wisdom teeth
. Well, first of all, as you can see, I have already had 4 premolar extractions years ago for braces. Now, two weeks ago I had my wisdom tooth extracted (the one marked), my dentist recommended it because of the way it is arranged and because I had pericoronitis, I followed his instructions and did it, I intended to stop there, but now I know that if I don't extract the top one, the tooth can (and will) overerupt and I'm afraid that if I don't extract the other side, there could be an imbalance in my bite, I would really like to stop there, I wouldn't want any more extractions, I'm confident that that lower wisdom tooth will straighten out, it has too much room and will compensate for my missing premolar, but I think there is no other option
, or if anyone has any opinion on what solution I can take, short or long term, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for reading me!
Pd: a solution I thought of is to somehow bring my molars 1 and 2 back a little to touch my wisdom tooth and avoid over-eruption or is that too difficult? I really don't want any more extraction, now I know that prophylactic extractions are becoming less and less recommended
