AgreementModerate agreement

InterestModerate interest

Participants express some curiosity, especially about the implications of nasal versus mouth breathing, but overall the interest remains modest.

ImpactNeutral impact

Abstract in brief

  • The study compares the effects of mouth breathing versus nasal breathing on facial and jaw development in children undergoing orthodontic treatment, finding that mouth breathers tend to have more downward and backward rotation of the jaw, increased overjet, and narrower dental arches.
  • Mouth breathing was associated with higher rates of structural issues like posterior crossbites and abnormal lip and tongue positions, indicating more significant craniofacial abnormalities.
  • The findings suggest that nasal breathing during childhood is crucial for proper jaw growth, while mouth breathing during key developmental periods may lead to altered facial proportions and malocclusion.]
