What's the difference between breathing with your mouth closed and breathing with your mouth open?

In the long run, the mandible, which should have developed forward, will easily be restricted from developing and form a backward face.

Fan Yijing, executive director of the Children's Maxillofacial Development Treatment Center of Hangzhou Stomatological Hospital, said: Frequent use of mouth breathing does have a certain impact on the five senses. When breathing through the nose, the mouth will be closed, and the tip of the tongue will naturally lean against the mucosal folds of the upper jaw. If you breathe through your mouth, your tongue will sink backwards and open the oral passage. In the long run, the mandible, which should have developed forward, can easily develop into a backward face.

Matters needing attention in daily life

Dr. Mike.Mew, a British dentist, once suggested that one way is to learn to put the tip of your tongue against the position of your maxilla in daily life and keep your nose breathing (if you are used to oral breathing before). Keeping this habit for a period of time is usually effective.

1. At the same time, keep the correct sitting posture in daily life, and don't have the posture of stretching your head forward.

2. Learn to improve the posture of head extension by closing the chin.

3. Reduce the consumption of exquisite food in daily life.

4. Increase the consumption of food that needs to be chewed, so as to strengthen oral muscles and improve mandibular lines.

5. When chewing gum, strengthen the position of the tongue by flattening the chewing gum on the upper jaw.
