Reminds me of the story of this dentist in Sweden who was fired for raising concerns about how 80% of migrant children he was treating were actually adults, based on their teeth:

It is similar, in the sense that pseudoscience is being used to potentially ruin people’s lives.

Nothing magically happens to teeth when someone turns 18.

Wisdom teeth develop during teen years and may erupt as early as 16, as late as 25, or not at all.

The only wishful thinking here is assuming people won't lie about their age and then you end up with "children" competing in school-level competitions

> may erupt as early as 16, as late as 25

Cool so assuming the average age to be 20.5 this means someone with wisdom teeth is more likely to be of age than not.

Put this fact together with other factors like wrist x-ray estimation and obviously looking like an adult and maybe we can have some common sense

So out of 100 claimed children, 40 of them are actually children and you'd want to reject them because of the law of big numbers?

I didn’t say there was no age fraud. I just said this method of determining age is nonsense, which it is.

This website never ceases to downvote easily verifiable facts.
