i heard this somewhere...
Im 16, and my wisdom teeth havent grown at all, does that mean my growing days (as in HEIGHT) are not over yet?
And is it true IF wisdom teeth are fully grown, then that means u can't grow anymore?

Your wisdom teeth have absolutely nothing to do with bone growth. It's possible to grow for several more years, but girls usually are finished at about 18. I grew another 2 inches after high school. I was 6'2" then and I was 6'4" after college! I guess it depends on your family history and genes.

For starters our wisdom teeth rarely come in by 16, that would be very early.
Your teeth and body growth have very little to do with one another. Children cut teeth from about 3 months to about 21 years of age and these are a persons prime growing years.
Where do young people get some of the crazy information they write on here anyway??
The wisdom teeth come in from about 18 to 21 or 22. So the odds are that at 16 you have more growing to do.

Wow, I've never heard that, but I highly doubt it's true. I'm nearly 21 and I still don't have wisdom teeth!!! (Maybe they will never grow in, at that rate). But I have not increased in height since probably age 17. I don't know what gender you are, but since you're only 16, you will likely add on a few more inches regardless of if you have wisdom teeth or not.
