Most children whose mouth breathing is not treated in time develop jaw problems in adulthood. Oral and dental abnormalities, changes in tooth development, facial deformity, all the negative effects that mouth breathing can cause over time.
While bad habits can change the position of the teeth and the normal growth pattern of the facial skeleton, obstruction of the airway and mouth breathing can also alter the normal growth pattern and can cause a malocclusion. The relationship between orthodontics and mouth breathing helps alleviate these disorders.
Therefore, it is necessary first to prevent the factors that cause these anomalies so that they do not develop or worsen. If such cases progress, they will be corrected through early orthodontic treatment to improve maxillofacial skeletal development.
