I'm fifteen years old and my teeth are pretty much fine except in the back 2 of my teeth don't touch the top ones and they've been hurting a lot lately, is it possible that they could still be growing upwards or are my teeth all done growing?

I really don't want to get braces either

It's possible that they're still growing! I'm 16 and I have a friend who is sort of a "late bloomer" when it comes to teeth. He is just now growing in his canine teeth and those are basically in the front of the mouth! Yours are in the back, and by the way you describe how your back teeth don't touch, it sounds like you have room to grow. That's probably why they hurt! If you're concerned, you could ask your dentist, but I'm sure you are fine! :)

Another possibility is thaat you are getting wisdom teeth coming in underneath the visible teeth and are pushing them around... a quick xray at the dentist could tell for sure...
