Would removing all of my wisdom teeth reduce my overbite?

Q. I am 26 and have always had a slight over bite but not serious. However after getting my wisdom teeth through my overbite is much more noticable. My dentist refered me to have all my wisdom teeth extracted as they were so far back that keeping them clean was a nightmare. The consultant decided to only remove one tooth in the end. What I am wondering is whether removing all the wisdom teeth would help reduce the overbite?,
A. No – wisdom teeth do not directly cause the front teeth to move
