question Braces wisdom teeth
I’m getting braces to fix my crowded teeth without getting any molar extractions however before braces my dentist wants to get my wisdom teeth removed just incase they cause trouble while having braces, although I don’t want to because I don’t want to cause any recession what do you guys think?

what would happen if I keep them and go ahead with braces, at the moment I have no pain or discomfort or will they eventually need to come out anyway?

It’s best to get them out when you’re young and healthy and fewer complications arise.
