Wisdom Teeth Alignment Without a Second Molar: What to Expect

It is not possible to make wisdom teeth grow straight when there is no second molar. The second molar is the tooth that is located in front of the wisdom tooth, and it helps to guide the wisdom tooth into place. Without a second molar, the wisdom tooth can grow in at an angle or sideways, which can cause pain and other problems.

If you have a wisdom tooth that is not growing in properly, you may need to have it removed. This is a surgical procedure that is performed by an oral surgeon.
