Re: wisdom teeth removal before braces?

When I had my consultation with the surgeon, I mentioned that I would be getting braces as well. He asked me to postpone getting the braces on until after the wisdom teeth removal because of the way they were positioned. Also, I have a small mouth and he needed every bit of space as he was removing ...
