Abstract: Human beings are normally nasal breathers. The nasal and oral cavities serve as pathways for respiratory airflow. Ordinarily, the inspiratory and expiratory airstreams are channeled through the nose because the mouth is usually closed. However, in some individuals, because of nasal airway inadequacy or habit, the oral cavity becomes the predominant route for the passage of respiratory airflow. This may affect the growth and development. This article reviews the anatomy, diagnosis, treatment and various aspects of upper airway and its importance in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Key Words: Upper airway, diagnosis, orthodontic. |
