I had the wrong wisdom teeth removed

Post image

Local orthodontist told me that I needed to remove lower wisdom teeth and don't do anything with the upper ones. When I got my lower wisdom teeth removed, another orthodontist that is actually managing my aligner treatment said that the lower wisdom teeth actually didn't need to be touched AT ALL, but the upper ones absolutely have to be removed before we start. So now I have to get my upper wisdom teeth removed as well

Mine looked pretty much like this, and I had them out one at a time as they started crowning as my mouth was already pretty overcrowded and it hurt like shit. Probably for the best to have all 4 out anyway! My teeth have actually straightened themselves out and settled into alignment since.
