Does wisdom teeth removal affect the jawline?

I will have wisdom teeth removal. I wonder if wisdom teeth removal affects the jawline?

If you mean the position of the teeth then, no; if you mean the visual outline of the jaw (facial appearance), also no.
Under normal circumstances removal of third molars does not effect the jawline.

Hello. Not sure 100% what you mean by jawline. It will not affect you phenotypically or aesthetically ever.

Generally not.
It shouldn't but to be safe see your dentist or the surgeon who took the tooth out.
Usually the wisdom teeth extraction does not effect the jawline but u can discuss this with the dentist who is going to extract ur wisdom teeth as he will be able to review the X-rays showing the position of the wisdom teeth .
