Jaw Bone Still Grows: In typical cases, jaw bone like others in your body would stop growing w growth plates, which in females is 15-16 yrs, a couple of yrs sooner than boys. It may be imp to determine if the bone is actually growing or your TMJ is getting misaligned, to give that impression, in which case u mau also experience discomfort or clicking noises with chewing. If not get Growth hormone checked and imaging.
