The jaw develops to hold teeth. Once you lose a tooth your jaw no longer has a reason to remain this way, which leads to bone resorption and consequently recession.

The hard part with wisdom teeth is that keeping them and pulling them out can both cause bone resorption, ideally simply let your orthodontist decide.

but the resorption is only locally which only affects the thin alveolar ridge not the entire mandible. The Orthodontist would also make favorite arguments to remove the wisdom tooth for profit sake. In my opinion you should only remove the wisdom teeth if it will actually cause harm in the predictable future

Speaking for the sake of speaking. Just don't be a retard and assess yourself whether the orthodontist wants to rip you off, that's highly unlikely anyway because not all diagnosing orthodontists are going to perform the surgery on you as well.

Bone resorption in the alveolar process is still unfavorable.

You regurgitate what I said in other words, I didn't imply anything else. Don't reply to me again.
