This is for an orthodontist. An incompetent oral surgeon just removed my 15 year old daughters 2nd bottom molar instead of her 3rd molar. She just had her braces removed after 3 years. Our ortho says its possible to get the 3rd molar in the place of the 2nd molar? I need another opinion. Can this be done and how long could it take!
Thanks for your query I have gone through your query, the third molar can be moved orthodontically if the space between 1st and 3rd molar is less. If there is too much space between two teeth then it cannot be moved. If planning to move the third molar it should be moved gradually over a period of 1 year to 1.5years. I hope my answer will be helpful. Take care
