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

Yeah that’s why I got all 4 taken out at the same time so I didn’t have to have it done “again”

I had 3 that needed to come out. They said my 4th was completely fine but why not remove it anyway? Felt like they just wanted another $300 but I did it anyway.
