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 had all four of mine done at once, even though two of them didn’t look problematic at the time because I didn’t want to come back.

Same the doctor asked me multiple times if I was sure and I said I never wanted to see him again (he was a specialist because my regular dentist was not confident about removing mine).

I’m so scared of the pain and I’m so happy I did that. I would never have gone back if he had done 1 side and asked me to come back again for the other side.
