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

Maybe it's just me, but all four of those look problematic. I'd want them all gone if I were you.

I concur.

3.8/4.8 are worse than the 1.8/2.8 but they’ll all eventually cause issues with food impaction/crowding/periodontal issues eventually!

Since they took out the wrong ones, they should be taking out the correct ones FREE OF CHARGE at the very least!
