Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars," these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain.

Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.

severity of the overbite: while a mild overbite of 0.3-0.4 cm might not be automatically disqualifying, a more severe overbite could potentially lead to issues with jaw function or bite alignment, which might raise concerns during the medical examination.
