Red face Problems after wisdom teeth removal

Hey, Im 22 yrs old and got my wisdom teeth out May 23rd. All four were impacted and pretty well developed. I have never had any pain or crowding, but the dentist suggested getting them removed to avoid future complications. It took a good two weeks for the pain to go away completely, but Im feeling much better now. The problem now is that the bottom left side of my lower lip and chin are sort of numb. I can still feel it if I touch it but barely. Hopefully this will go away over time. Also, my bottom teeth feel like there is pressure and my teeth are starting to get crowded and sort of crooked. THis is after 2 years of braces that I got taken off 5 years ago. Is this normal?

what do u mean they are getting crowded and crooked? isnt the purpose of removing wisdom teeth to give more room to avoid crowding? or do u mean it has made your teeth move into different positions? i suggest straight away book in to see your orthodontist! try and go back to the one that put your braces on, but if not then just see any. because otherwise your teeth could move out of alignment and u will ruin all the good work that your braces did. i would suggest asking to see if you can get some retainers to hold your teeth into alignment while the new arrangment is taking place, that way it wont let your teeth move out of alignment that they braces put them in. i had braces 2 years ago and i have since worn my retainers every night (almost) even when i got my wisdom teeth out, as much as it was painful i still put them in to avoid my teeth moving out of place. i didnt want to waste 3 thousand dollars for nothing.
