It was asked if wisdom teeth should be removed before invisalign. Specifically, wisdom teeth that were partially or completely impacted. The short answer is yes, they should come out.
Among the reasons for this is that accurate impressions are critical to the success of the case, and by having part of the wisdom teeth interfere in the impression can ruin the case. Looking at the BIG picture, they will create a periodontal challenge and will ultimately NEED removal, but likely associated with pain and discomfort. It really would be best to remove them asap…!
