The assessment that unerupted wisdom teeth may cause dental crowding, or that erupted wisdom teeth have already caused crowding, or that their removal will prevent or reverse dental crowding... is opinion, conjecture and myth.
Literally no-one knows a precise answer.
What we do know, is that wisdom teeth often try to erupt into a jaw that has already stopped growing. That dental crowding can occur, is because of a number of reasons, and which over a lifetime becomes obvious... Just as your wisdom teeth eventually also become obvious to you.
Are wisdom teeth and dental crowding linked? Maybe. But removing wisdom teeth doesn't prevent for dental crowding that is caused by a multitude of potential other reasons. And dental crowding that already exists, is not going to simply reverse because you are getting your wisdom teeth removed.
That's like asking a disordered room to become ordered on it's own.
The only way to clean a room is to put directed energy into the system.
And the only way to reverse dental crowding, is with energy too... in the form of braces and an orthodontist.
It's called entropy. Basic physics.
