For someone considering wisdom tooth extraction, braces and gum contouring, in what order should I get the treatments?

In preparation for orthodontics, some orthodontists may advise the removal of impacted wisdom teeth to reduce the risk of relapse. However, this is not always necessary and the decision has to be made by the orthodontist in consultation with the patient. Gum contouring is a separate issue to orthodontics and there are many ways that this can be done. Do note that the gums can relapse after contouring if nothing is placed to maintain the gum margins.
