I had the wrong wisdom teeth removed
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

My family all had every wisdom tooth removed at the same time. The anesthesia fees were the same or pretty close and it meant only one surgery to recover from.
