Is your child a Mouth-breather ?

Loyola from Caring 4 Smiles Dental Group

Development of the Face is just not a simple growth & development process, but is a synchrony between nasal breathing and the 4 main groups of facial muscles. The tongue, lips, cheeks and neck muscles play a significant role in the development of a wonderful Smile and face. All of the development is early in childhood.
-
Children may develop a Mouth-breathing habit early and this causes the lips and teeth to be forced into improper & deformed positions. There are easy ways to correct this, if a child is managed early, and we have treated children as young as 4 years of age, with simple fun-type appliances, bringing about dramatic facial corrections, avoiding extensive braces or surgery down the track.
-
Mouth breathing affects facial development, sleep patterns, and general mental development. Such a massive issue is often missed in early childhood and the parents suddenly realize that their child's teeth are sticking out or the face is not as pretty as it should be.
-
If you see a child sleeping with their mouth open, drooling when sleeping, having a wet pillow or waking tired even after 8 hours of sleep, you may be dealing with a Mouth breather.
