3. The Slow and Steady: Torus Palatinus’ Gradual Progression Over Time
While the existence of Torus Palatinus might be a surprise for some, it’s intriguing to note that it’s not a sudden development. This bony growth, in many instances, takes its own sweet time to form and mature. It’s the tortoise in the race of oral growths, slowly and steadily making its mark.
From the time of its inception, possibly from birth or early childhood, it can take years, even decades, for Torus Palatinus to become noticeable. This might be one of the reasons why many adults suddenly ‘discover’ the growth, even though it’s been a part of their oral structure for a long time.
Interestingly, factors like genetics might play a part in its progression. Those with family members having Torus Palatinus might observe a similar pattern of growth, both in terms of size and pace. While it remains static in some individuals, in others, it can show a marginal increase over the years. (3)
