Abstract
Mouth breathing in humans is an unnatural act of necessity to get air into the lungs when the primary airway is blocked by nasal or nasopharyngeal obstruction. It may be continuous or intermittent. It is a habit in which the lower jaw is dropped. The lips are parted and the tongue is depressed from its normal position. Mouth breathing has been stated to have serious effects on the development of the facial skeleton and occlusion of teeth on account of the displacement of normal lateral, buccal, and lingual muscular forces. In mouth breathing the air is received directly into the lungs without being cleansed, warmed, and moistened and it tends to lift the palate high. Mouth Breathing should be treated during the mixed dentition period to prevent or correct its ill effects on occlusion. Treatment should be aimed at elimination of the cause, Interception of the habit and Correction of the malocclusion.
