Mouth Breathing – Understanding and Treating the Habit Early

Mouth breathing is a common yet often overlooked issue in children and adults. While breathing through the mouth may seem harmless, chronic oral breathing—especially during sleep—can lead to a range of health, developmental, and orthodontic problems. At AQR Orthodontics, we specialize in diagnosing and treating the mouth breathing habit with a proactive, growth-focused approach to restore normal nasal breathing and support overall health.

Effects of Mouth Breathing

When a person consistently breathes through the mouth instead of the nose, it alters natural facial growth patterns and disrupts oral functions. Some of the effects include

Long Face Syndrome

Vertical facial growth, narrow upper jaw, and retrusive chin due to altered tongue posture

Open Bite and Crooked Teeth

Improper tongue positioning can lead to poor arch development and misalignment

sleepign

Poor Sleep Quality

Children may sleep with open mouth, leading to disturbed sleep, fatigue, and behavioral issues

gum

Dry Mouth and Gum Issues

Decreased saliva flow leads to increased plaque buildup and risk of cavities

Impaired Oxygen Intake

Nasal breathing filters and humidifies air, while mouth breathing reduces oxygen efficiency

Common Causes of Mouth Breathing

1 Nasal Obstruction

Blocked nasal passages due to allergies or structural issues

2 Enlarged Tonsils

These can physically block the nasal airway, causing mouth breathing

3 Tonsillitis in Children

Recurrent infections may lead to chronic enlargement, often requiring tonsillectomy for relief

4 Oral Habits

Prolonged thumb sucking and incorrect head posture can contribute to mouth breathing and associated harmful effects

I had my wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Abdulqadir, and the experience was incredibly smooth. He also treated both my daughters for their stubborn milk teeth that wouldn’t fall out on their own.

What truly stood out was his attention to detail and how carefully he observed our reactions throughout the process. He was so patient and kind, and made sure we felt calm and comfortable every step of the way. Even when we were nervous, he maintained his composure and reassured us constantly, which helped ease our anxiety.

Thanks to his gentle approach, the entire experience was pain-free and stress-free. Truly grateful for the care and professionalism he showed to me and my girls.
