Impacted wisdom teeth extraction before orthodontics: Should I have them all removed at the same time?

Before the braces were placed, I was told that my two horizontally impacted wisdom teeth in the lower jaw would need to be extracted. Should I have both of them taken in one session or one week apart?

Mielestäni sinun pitäisi ottaa ne viikon välein! Sillä jos poistat molemmat puolet, sinulla ei jää enää puolta pureskella ruokaa ja sinun tulee juoda nestettä vain pillin läpi 3-4 päivää. Kun toinen puoli on parantunut, on paljon mukavampaa poistaa toinen puoli.

If general anesthesia or sedation is not planned, pulling the right and left sides under local anesthesia 1-2 weeks apart is clinically more preferred in terms of postoperative chewing comfort. However, in patients with time constraints, unilateral double imaging (same side upper-lower) is also a very practical alternative.

I had my upper and lower right side removed on the same day, and I ate comfortably with my left side. I had the left side removed 10 days later, and I had no difficulty.
