yes, it does NOT work. Your face and skullcap bones develops from the sutures. The maxilla grows from the cranial base and literally ABSORBS bone from its surface (so it grows posteriorily and loses bone anteriorily). Its not appositional growth like in the femur. Its different
2nd, your face and skull (splanchoc and neuroc) bones are made from intramembranous growth. They grow from direct fibrous mesenchymal tissue, not cartilage. They develop very fast. Its not like in those skeleton corporal bones where you apply pressure to them it increases density, no.
3rdly, specially for mandible, grows height from the tmj (in a downward manner, same as maxilla). For mandible there is some appositional growth esp in symphysis but its mostly from the joint

the claims that the tibial bone grows more dense from hitting it are not applicable to the splanchocranium and neurocranium. Theyre different and develop very differently (as told above).
also, just because the bone grows in density (as in osteoblastic activity) it doesnt mean it GROWS BIGGER
the "growing bigger" of a bone, unregulated accumulation of it, is a process called FIBROSIS. Which can happen in a fracture line (not microfracture, literal broken bone) if its untreated or some complications
