What age does the male jaw stop growing?

The lower jaw, the mandible, can continue to grow more forward than the upper jaw, maxilla. This growth usually stops when the child stops growing. Remember, this is biology, so there will always be a complication! In some males they can continue to grow till the age of 25 years old!

How Often Do We Need to Review – Children Development and Bite – Part 4 – Lower Jaw Development – The Length The lower jaw, the mandible, can continue to grow more forward than the upper jaw, maxilla. This growth usually stops when the child stops growing. Remember, this is biology, so there will always be a complication! In some males they can continue to grow till the age of 25 years old! Growth is not a continuous steady process; it has bursts of activity whenever it feels like it. There have been cases when orthodontic treatment has been completed only to find the jaw has kept on growing undoing some aspects of the treatment.

The classification of the type of bite is a Class III malocclusion.

Class III malocclusion - lower jaw more forward than upper jaw

This particular type of orthodontic situation may need surgical intervention to reduce the length of the jaw. Conventional treatment will not alter the growth of the jaw in the long term. The upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth and severe situations there may be no contact at all but an open bite in reverse to a typical open bite. Therefore, how often do we review this situation? ….for some people, years. Just when you thought it could not get any more complicated, there is a situation when a patient can have a pseudo Class III malocclusion. This occurs when the upper teeth have titled inwards behind the lower teeth when they starting growing in the mouth. This then has caused the lower jaw to jut out more forward. It is not a jaw growth issue but interference by the position of the upper front teeth. The jaws want to bite properly but when the front teeth meet, the mandible slides off the upper front teeth and moves forward. Pseudo Class III maloccsion due to the bite of the upper front teeth Tilting the upper teeth more forward would allow the mandible to sit in a more normal position behind these teeth. The chin would also move backwards into a better alignment with the face as well.

Why do some people never age?

They found that genes have a lot to do with looking young. There are thousands of genes in everyone's DNA that focus on cell energy, skin formation, and antioxidant production, but "ageless" people express them differently, and often for longer while others peter out as they age.

harpersbazaar.com - Here's Why Some People Don't Seem to Age, Ever

You know that frustratingly gorgeous friend of yours? The one who puts on some Chapstick and walks out the door, no problem, and still gets carded at way past 21? Scientists have finally figured out what her deal is. And no, it's not (just) plastic surgery. Researchers at Harvard Medical School paired with DNA analysis company 23andMe to figure out why some people seem to never age. They studied genetic data from 350 women from a variety of ages and ethnic groups. They then isolated people they deemed "exceptional skin agers:" people who were perceived to look younger than they actually were, but didn't have cosmetic surgery. Though they plan on studying more ethnicities, their first study focused on Caucasian and African-American women. They found that genes have a lot to do with looking young. There are thousands of genes in everyone's DNA that focus on cell energy, skin formation, and antioxidant production, but "ageless" people express them differently, and often for longer while others peter out as they age. And that expression differs by race; the study found that women of African descent had skin that aged 10 years slower than Caucasian women.

The study was sponsored by , and it's the longest-ever study the beauty brand has conducted. They plan to use this research to develop new anti-aging products that help "activate" these genes for those without the genetic prize. The findings will be presented at the annual World Congress of Dermatology in Vancouver.
