For me and my brother, we had braces, and the wisdoms will **** up the now straight teeth if you let them grow naturally and stay. I still have a retainer cemented in on the bottom teeth, and since those teeth couldn't move, the wisdoms couldn't come in right, making my mouth hurt every so often.

I think for the most part, this is the reason they get removed. I'm sure there are others that are legit, not just about the money.
