Your question is best answered by a qualified orthodontist (dentist who specializes in straightening teeth). It would not be unreasonable to seek the opinions of several orthodontists. Moving a third molar into a second molar position has been done, but the only way to determine if it is appropriate in a specific case is to ask several qualified experts.

Your molar tooth has an abscess and it should be extracted because on that side your wisdom tooth is pushing beside the abscessed tooth Is an implant or bridge better?
You can only put a bridge on if there is a tooth on each side to support it. Therefore, a bridge cannot replace a wisdom tooth, because it's the last one on the dental arch. If you keep your wisdom tooth and you need to extract the molar right before, then you can replace that molar with a bridge. In any other case, an implant would be a better treatment.

If a dentist recommends that you remove your second molar tooth instead of your wisdom tooth is that a bad choice if the second molar is in very bad condition?
