instruction: hello doctor I had my wisdom teeth pulled out a couple of times back now I am putting on braces my orthodontist said that I have to remove my premolars in order to make room but I feel like you could just push back my molars somewhat where the wisdom teeth used to be is it possible very similar to the bottom except he wants to remove one front tooth to make room but I feel like you could just push back the molars a little bit to make room
output: hi first of all you have to understand the fact that not all wisdom teeth are functional what I mean is most of the wisdom teeth are removed not to create space but it does not serve the purpose to chew well instead of harm the surrounding gums and in orthodontic treatment the molars cannot be shifted because that will collapse the whole contacts between the teeth there is a rule that the molars have to hit each other at certain points only then it helps you in chewing your food efficiently hence there is no harm in pulling out the premolars in order to gain space because there would not be any gap left behind after the treatment is completed so I advise you not to panic because you are losing your premolar tooth but that is definitely going to help the treatment become a success
