A member asked:
Does your jaw thicken as you age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Jaws grpw: You jaw will continue to grow until the age of 12 to 15, but sometimes it may grow slightly longer. The growth should be symmetrical and there should not be any pain or problems. Seek professional help if it appears that this may be anything but normal growth.
