Adequate growth of the jaws is required to provide enough room for your wisdom teeth to erupt (if they are going to). What is probably confusing is that your lower jaw actually grows in the back (which moves it forward), so that is how you get the extra room.
A wisdom tooth or third molar is one of the three molars per quadrant of the human dentition. It is the most posterior of the three. Wisdom teeth generally erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Most adults have four wisdom teeth, one in each of the four quadrants, but it is possible to have fewer or more, in which case the extras are called supernumerary teeth. Wisdom teeth commonly affect other teeth as they develop, becoming impacted.
