Does skull growth stop at puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define "growth": Most of skull growth (size, shape) will be complete by age 9 yrs. The suture lines between the skull plates are not fully fused until well into the third decade.

When do girl stop growing taller and what is the average height growth for girl during puberty?
If a male was to see puberty changes just starting at nearly age 15 (late bloomer). What age would growth stop at?
If someone went thru puberty but growth plates never closed, would their height keep growing even in 30s or 40s or would it stop earlier @ some point?
Was just told that growth plates can reopen later in life, post-puberty & yrs after someone seemed to stop growing. Is there any truth to those claims?
