turned 16 in february. my mandible looks ( and probably IS) too short. I also have an overbite, which has become ever worse due to thumbpulling.

But without a doubt the worst part of all of this is that my growth plates have fused, which also explains why i have been stuck at 5'6 for over a year. the xray of my hand indicates that my bone age is 1.5 years ahead

I was thinking about getting braces with a herbst appliance or something, but maybe it is too late. Also HGH injections probably wont do shit atp according to my doctor.

Is surgery the only way?

brutal life,once again determined by genetics...to op fraud for 2 years and get surgery its only way out,maybe health indicators might help
 
how are your plates closed at 16😭
idk man. probably due to a shitty diet during my growth spurt, lack of quality sleep, and maybe low test. also idk if gooning stunts growth but i used to do it frequently.

when i got my hand xrayed 8 months ago my doctor confirmed that they were closed and that i wouldnt grow much more. at that moment i realised that its over for me, and its my fault

if the epiphyseal plates in your hand are closed that doesnt mean that the ones in your femur or tibia are closed too, the hands and wrists tend to mature earlier, so youre legs (especially the femur) can keep growing even after the plates in your hands have closed

Even if this is true, I have gained only a little less than an inch in height since last year. Isnt this a good indicator that I'm completely done growing?

Hope you reach your goal some day dude. But be honest, do you really think 2 inches would make such a huge difference?

Anyway, Idk about you, I personally have no problem with my height to be honest, even though I was really insecure about it a few years ago. What really pisses me off though is the way my jaw looks, which is unlikely to change at this point. So hardmaxxing is the way to go!

Yes, 2 inches, ill go from manlet to normal/a bit less than normal, It Will make a big change, also if you are 5'9 then you can face max with good results(hardmazx, i think ill get a bimax), i realy want to avoid LL
