Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed before braces?

I’m planning to get braces, but my dentist said I need to remove my wisdom teeth first. Do they really need to remove all of them before braces?

I’m honestly scared because one of my wisdom teeth is impacted, and my dentist told me to get a CBCT scan first. I still haven’t done it because I’ve been overthinking everything 😅

For those who had their wisdom teeth removed before getting braces:

-Did you remove all of them or just the impacted ones?

-How painful was it?

-How was the recovery?

Around how much did it cost you?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences po because I’m super anxious about it. Thank you.
