What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the eighth teeth in the mouth from the center incisors and the third molar on the alveolar bone.

Does everyone have wisdom teeth?
Not necessarily. Generally speaking, from the age of 16 or so, our wisdom teeth grow outward one after another. However, the number of wisdom teeth varies from person to person, depending on the embryo of the wisdom teeth. If there is no embryo of the wisdom teeth, there will be no growth of wisdom teeth: there are also many people who have their wisdom teeth erupted at a bad angle and direction, so they are not able to erupt in the right position. To determine whether you have wisdom teeth, it is recommended that you go to a regular dental clinic for a checkup.

Teeth with no corresponding occlusion
If the wisdom teeth are not paired up or down, or have been extracted, the wisdom teeth do not have an opposing occlusion, and are prone to over-eruption, which creates a "height difference" with the teeth next to them and can easily result in food clogging, and promotes bacterial adhesion in the gaps between the teeth, which does not only contribute to the lack of chewing, but can also turn good teeth next to them into teeth for war.
Orthodontics needs
