Yes, it is common.

Just as with tonsils, it is normal for a young child have large adenoids, and the simple fact that the adenoid pad is large is not a reason for surgery. Babies are born without visible tonsils and adenoids. The adenoids begin to grow in the first year of life, peak in size between age one and five, then slowly get smaller as a child grows. While the occasional teenager may still have adenoids big enough to cause blockage of the nose, this is rare and the adenoids typically shrink away before adolescence. http://www.kids-ent.com/website/pediatric_ent/tonsils_adenoids/index.html

My teeth are crooked and crowded because my wisdom teeth are impacted. Will my teeth go back after getting my wisdom teeth removed?

I spoke to my oral surgeon about the crowding in my lower jaw that I believed to be caused by my wisdom teeth. He said that even with the extra space I would receive from the removal of my wisdom teeth, it would be unlikely that my teeth would move back into place. There was mention of being fitted for retainers and going to a different doctor who specialized in orthodontics.
