Expandable medical implants for supporting bone structures may include a first member and a second member. The second member may be configured to receive the first member and may be moveable along the longitudinal axis relative to the first member. One of the first and second members may include a plurality of teeth and the other of the first and second members may include at least one tooth. At least a portion of one of the first and second main bodies may be elastically deformable to selectively engage and disengage the at least one tooth and the plurality of teeth. At least one tooth and the plurality of teeth may be shaped to deform the elastically deformable portion when both increasing and when decreasing the overall implant height by moving the second member relative to the first member along the longitudinal axis.
