lybrate-user firstly you need to understand your situation. Whether you are suffering from pain due to wisdom tooth eruption or your concern is irregular tooth arch. I ll suggest you to go for an OPG and let your dentist decide the space available for arch realignment. If your wisdom tooth is not erupted properly at its position then you must get it extracted by your dentist. After that you might need an orthodontic treatment for your irregular teeth. U need not worry at all coz the well planned treatment will definitely benefit u. About the cost it varies if its just extraction and realignment via removable appliance it wil not cost much but if you need a fix orthodontic treatment, it might be costly.

None of the toothpaste can give you relief from pain, paste is just a medium to keep the teeth clean.

Hello lybrate-user, an erupting wisdom tooth is often associated with pain, swelling, restricted mouth opening etc. Most commonly it is because of infection of the gums surrounding the erupting tooth. I will advise you to visit an oral surgeon/dentist who will most likely prescribe you a short course of antibiotic & pain killers. In the mean time do warm saline rinses and try to keep good oral hygiene by regular brushing. All the best.
