[quote=GUEST23109,315394]I am a dentist. There are developmental and maturational stages in teeth development. Molar teeth erupt during age 6, 12 and 18, (wisdom teeth). The other teeth have time periods also. Although some people do not develp and mature during the "normal" period, you can see teeth and jaw development by taking dental x-rays. We the experts in dentistry can analyze well. Of course everything is subject to discussion and debate, but including x-rays along with body growth such as signs of puberty are good ways to determine the "normal" age of a developing young adult. Teeth have certain stages of growth. That Chinese gymnast with the missing front teeth could have missed her tooth because of: congenital missing tooth, impacted #7 tooth (enrupted) or lost from trauma. A full mouth series of x-rays will be tell- tale. Also, we can tell the growth and develpment of the jaw and what is inside the mouth. This is not just based on looking at the size and height of the person.[/quote]
