Having your wisdom teeth removed is very important to help you keep up oral hygiene and aesthetic appearances. Wisdom teeth impaction could cause the alignment of your teeth to go out of place and it is highly recommended that you get them extracted before it causes severe problems like gum disease and tooth decay.

On top of having your wisdom teeth removed to keep your teeth straight and beautiful, you can also try out a new orthodontic method called Invisible braces.

Invisible braces works just like traditional metal braces but it is much more convenient from a cosmetic perspective. The set of aligners are clear and almost invisible to the naked eye, and you can easily remove it whenever you are eating or drinking. It is highly popular amongst adults who want to have their teeth straightened without the hassle of metal braces.

Now, the real question is, should you have your wisdom teeth removed before proceeding with Invisible braces treatment?

There have been quite a few debates on whether or not wisdom teeth extraction is needed beforehand. The general consensus would be to have them removed before treatment because sometimes wisdom teeth will obstruct the fitting of the aligners. However, in some cases where the wisdom tooth hasn’t fully erupted, the Invisalign aligners can be trimmed and smoothed to fit the set of teeth.

So, it is recommended that you visit us for a consultation to determine if you need your wisdom teeth removed before or after Invisible braces treatment.

There is one common question that we always get from our patients after a wisdom teeth removal procedure.

“When can I start brushing my teeth again?”

Well, the general advice would be to wait at least 24 hours after having your wisdom teeth removed but you can actually brush your teeth if you really want to, provided that you apply the proper techniques.

After the wisdom tooth extraction, there will be gauze covering the surgical area. This gauze will need to remain for at least 30 minutes but after it has been taken off you can brush your teeth at any time you want. Just be sure to be extra gentle and careful when you are doing it.

Of course, you won’t be brushing or applying ANY sort of pressure on the extracted area but you can still brush the rest of your teeth with relative ease.

Brushing Your Teeth

1) First of all, you are going to need an extra soft toothbrush so that it won’t be too harsh on the extracted area in case you accidentally bump it with the head of the brush.

2) Apply a very tiny amount of toothpaste onto the brush. Scrub teeth in small, very gentle, circular motions.

3) Be VERY cautious not to bump or brush any part where you have had your wisdom teeth removed. Take your time, there is no rush here.

4) Once you are done brushing, DO NOT spit or rinse your mouth like you usually would. Lean over the sink and slowly let the toothpaste foam fall out of your mouth naturally. Remember, do not spit.

5) Instead of sucking the water into your mouth, gently take a cup and pour water into it so that you can avoid suction.

6) Next, instead of gargling and swishing, gently tilt your head side to side to allow the water to clear off the foam in your mouth.

7) Let the water fall out of your mouth and be sure that you do not spit it out.

When you are done brushing your teeth, get a warm glass of water and add some salt into it. Gently rinse your mouth the same way you did before by tilting your head side to side, and avoid swishing or spitting.
