A member asked:
I'm a 17 year old male 5,7. can i get to at least 6,0 or maybe higher like 6,1 and what are your thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not: Most 17 yo are at or near the end of their growth in stature. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can identify a bone maturity that would show if you are finished/near finished or have much more to go. Your bones would need to be much like a 13-14 yo to allow for that much added growth. If you have not grown more than an inch in the pat year you are near the end.

Can children wear night guards? Our seven year old son grinds his teeth at night, and i've worn a night guard for bruxism for many years as an adult. Do they have the same things for kids, and if so, do they have to always get new ones due to growth?
