Extraction: Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on how fast you heal and how cautious you are to the site. Salt water rinsing can help speed healing time. Also, taking vitamins will get your immune system working even better.

Once you have had them removed, you need to be careful not to eat really hot or really cold foods for a couple of days. You need to keep the wound clean (rinse you mouth with warm salted water four times a day) and try not to chew any food with that part of your mouth.
The wound will feel tender for a week, and the gap will close over within two months.
If you go to hospital, you should take the following day off from work as you may be a little dozey. You will have some swelling around the area which should go away within a couple of days.
After a very tough surgery, a patient can feel discomfort for one or two weeks. But if there was no complications, the patient can feel comfortable with no pain as soon as the next day.

∙ 14y agoAbout one week for most of the pain and swelling to go down, two weeks for complete recovery. This was my experience. Also - good idea to ice the jaw a few times a day for the first couple of days. This keeps the swelling down and speeds up recovery. Recovery time will depend whether the teeth were simply 'pulled out' or required surgical removal - ie if they were impacted. Hope this helps.

Can you get braces having wisdom teeth?
AnswerIn most cases, there should be no problem in having your wisdom teeth extracted while you are still wearing braces.This is usually done when there is an infection on the wisdom tooth, or when the extraction is indicated to help with the orthodontic treatment.AnswerAfter having had braces, for four years, the orthodontist told me which teeth had to be extracted PRIOR to the braces being put on. The extraction sites had to then heal, before the braces could be applied. Working around braces is so difficult, that normal dental cleanings and flossing can NOT be done.
