My dentist says based on my teeth size i will be over 6' im 5'7 with my mom at 5'6 and dad 5'10 my dentist right? can u base height on your teeth?

Really ?: Never heard of teeth being used to predict height. If that's the case, then all tall people would have large teeth, and all short people would have small teeth... you know that that isn't correct, right? Double your height when you were two years old and that will be your approximate height. Here's some more info: http://www.harvardhealthcontent.com/ChildrensHealth/66,COL013003
