Should my Invisalign dentist or a separate dentist extract my wisdom tooth?

First of all, let me share with you that all General Dental Surgeons as well as Specialist Dental Surgeons, regardless of their area of specialty , are legally allowed to perform wisdom tooth removal. However, having said that, not all dental surgeons have equal training and experience in the field, and if your wisdom tooth removal is a complex one, it is not unreasonable for you to consider having the procedure done with either a general dentist who has a special interest and further training in wisdom teeth removal or a specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.

Is Invisalign or braces more effective for cross-bite issues?

Uprighting your upper 2nd premolars can be achieved with Invisalign or fixed (traditional) braces. If your tooth is very short on the palatal (side facing inward), then it may be more efficient to upright the tooth using fixed braces since the Invisalign aligner will have a smaller surface area to grip on to with a short tooth. Anterior crossbites (that occur in the front teeth) can be solved with Invisalign or fixed braces. The bigger question is the reason for the crossbite being present in the first place. I have covered this here.
