Mine are gone. I only had the lower ones and they were impacted. They xrayed up to my eye sockets and there were none on top. Good for me! I had the surgery when I was 19 (I think). That was a LONG time ago!

My daughter, Helen, had hers out at 15. She only had 3, but the orthodontist wanted them out right away because they were headed the wrong way (impacted).

I think they are doing the surgery earlier and earlier these days to avoid problems that pop up later.

Good luck Kelly.
