I'm an evolutionary marvel who was born without lateral incisors (seriously, my teeth skip right from my incisors to my canines), and my dentist told me that because of this, I'd probably have room for all my wisdom teeth. I made it almost 30 years without any problems. Now the top-left one is partially erupted, looks like it's coming in sideways, and is causing my gum to flare up something fierce. I think I need to have it out, but this couldn't have come at a worse time. Plus my dental insurance only covers up to $1K in dental work per calendar year. I'd much rather be putting money into my car than into my teeth.

By the looks of that face, I'm guessing it's Hyperbole and a Half?

I had migrating canines. They had to cut out the front half of the roof of my mouth to drag them down in place with braces. Later on all 4 of my wisdom teeth were impacted.

Yes, it is.

I am an evolutionary marvel in that I have no wisdom teeth.
My body knew my jaw was going to be too small, and just said "nope, not gonna do it". Good luck with all the mouth cutting, may your pain medication be kick-ass.

I was born the same way.

I'm an evolutionary marvel in that, not only do I have no wisdom teeth, I'm short one molar
My mouth is average size and could accommodate all the factory teeth. Not sure why I got shipped out missing a component

Excellent taste. Hope you get well soon. I had 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out before they even came out because of how much trouble they would have caused.

Got all my teeth....wisdom included. They all fit, too. Only dental problem I had was a slight overbite, corrected with a retainer when I was in 5th grade.

I've still got my baby canines as the adult ones are sideways in my jaw and never pushed out the baby set. In addition all four of my wisdom teeth have impacted despite not yet having broken the surface. They're not causing problems yet but they will later on so I need to get them out before they do.
