Wisdom teeth are the four back molars at the top and bottom corners of your mouth. They usually grow in between the ages of 17 and 25, and because they're the last teeth to come in, there often isn't enough room for them. When that happens, they can come in at an angle, only partway, or stay stuck under the gums (called 'impacted').
