Question about Wisdom Teeth?

Alright, so I google'd this stuff because I am 17 and my top wisdom teeth have started growing. I found out that you don't need them removed if your mouse is big enough so that they don't bother your other teeth. I asked my mom about when you get them removed and she said that it is one of the most painful experiences ever because they have to cut your gums and then use a needle and thread to close it up. I currently have braces that will be coming off in a couple days and I want to know if it will reduce my chances of having to get my wisdom teeth removed because I had 4 teeth pulled in order to get my braces (1 from each side of my mouth).
