I sure hope not. I had $5K worth of braces 10 years ago and had my wisdom teeth out 5 days ago. My jaw is still swollen and I have noticed that my overbite is definitely worse than it was last week. I'm hoping it's just due to the swelling and tightness in my jaw and that when everything is settled, things will go back into place. If anyone has a real answer, please let me know. It takes much more than wisdom teeth to get an overbite. Usually an overbite is caused by a bad relationship of the upper jaw with the lower jaw. Wisdom teeth can cause minor misalignment in teeth if there is little space and if there are not extracted.
