I do have one that was bitted before wolf teeth were removed and who has become a nightmare to bridle as a result.
I keep being told that my 2 year old will be fine in a rubber bit without having his removed but I am taking no chances with this one and they are coming out tomorrow
Is the horse behaving badly on the ground or is the horse bitted?

He is bittedand been broken 6 months..he was like an angel never put a foot wrong and excepted everything perfect... but just this last 3 weeks he's turned into a nightmare to ride..as soon as u ask for contact he would become wooden in his mouth and very heavy on the left rein...if u put more pressure on the contact he would rear and try bolting forwards...I got the dentist and he took out his wolf teeth...I'm just wondering if his behaviour was down to this or will it just carry on?

my six year old that I mentioned above was wooden in his mouth as a result of being bitted with the wolf teeth in, he is improving though but its taken some time for him to understand that the pain is gone now and while he ok with the bit in he doesn't like actually being bridled
I did sell a pony that still had his wolf teeth and the vet said these would not affect him as they were tucked up behind other teeth not where they would normally be so if your horse is like that it may not be the wolf teeth but generally when they are in the normal place when the bit moves it can catch the wolf teeth and make them very uncomfy so its a good idea to have them removed
Hopefully your horse will improve now

After troubles in the past I now check them before bitting and have any removed beforehand, not worth taking the risk of the learned behaviour that bits hurt.
