Wisdom teeth causing crooked teeth..?

All four of my wisdom tooths are pretty much all out, but they came in slightly impacted...they are probably more than 3/4%26#039;s of a way out (I could tell because my gums are covering a tiny bit of the tooth...the impacted growth made 1-2 tooths a little crooked (very mild on top, mild-moderate on the bottom) I was just wondering, will my teeth become more crooked the longer I wait to get them pulled..? How long could I wait until they become more crooked as my wisdom teeth comes out all the way?

Wisdom teeth causing crooked teeth..?
Yes as previous person said.. Your teeth will get move crooked and it would be best to have them pulled out ASAP. You%26#039;re going to be in awful pain but it%26#039;s worth it after that month of pain passes.
Reply:Your teeth will get more and more crooked, little by little. So if you%26#039;re going to get them out you might as well do it right now.
Reply:I agree with Steve. After I had braces and my teeth were straight, my wisdom teeth came in like yourse and I had to have braces yet again!
Reply:Many people%26#039;s wisdom teeth come in at an angle. From what you describe, it sounds like they are almost completely erupted already (almost all the way above the gum), so it%26#039;s unlikely that they%26#039;d become more crooked at this point. Orthodontic studies show that your wisdom teeth will NOT make your other teeth crooked - this is a very common misconception. As far as getting your wisdom teeth pulled, it would be a good idea to talk to your dentist about it. If it%26#039;s hard for you to brush and floss back there then your wisdom teeth may be predisposed to decay and gum problems. If you have any symptoms (pain, soreness, inflammation) in that area that%26#039;s another reason to have those teeth evaluated. Good luck!
Reply:Sorry, your jaw is just too small to hold all your teeth. Get those molars yanked now. You%26#039;ve already waited too long.
Reply:What does your dentist say? Has he recommended that they be removed? Most people don%26#039;t have enough room in their mouths to accomodate the 3rd molars. And it sounds like, if they%26#039;re coming in crooked that there isn%26#039;t. They will definitely continue to move your teeth and cause crowding if they%26#039;re not extracted.
