“…No matter what the cause, children with chronic mouth breathing might develop several morphological disorders during the growth phase resulting in unfavorable craniofacial dentofacial complex development. However, the relationship between mouth breathing and dentofacial development is controversial because some authors do not associate nasal obstruction as a major factor causing abnormal dentofacial and craniofacial development 13–15…”

“…Mouth breathing may lead to postural changes such as lowered position of the mandible, raised position of the head, low posture of the hyoid bone and anterior inferior position of the tongue (1,2,5). It has also been shown that such postural changes may be related to specific dentofacial characteristcs and morphological changes (6).…”

The relationship between dentofacial morphology and respiration has been debated and investigated from various approaches. The aim of this study was to verify the skeletal and dental relationship of mouth and nose breathing children. Thirty-five children, 7 to 10 years of age, were submitted to orthodontic and otorhinolaryngologic evaluations and were separated into 2 groups: 15 nose breathers and 20 mouth breathers. Each subject underwent a cephalometric radiograph analysis. Statistical analysis (Mann-Whitney U test) indicated that changed mode of breathing was associated with 1) maxillo-mandibular retrusion in relation to the cranial base in the mouth breathers; 2) the SNGoGn and NSGn angles were greater in the mouth breathing group; 3) incisor inclination in both jaws and the interincisal angle were not different between groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the maxillary and mandibular molar heights between the nose breathers and mouth breathers.

“…It still remains a controversial subject with no general consensus achieved (25)(26)(27)(28). Harvold et al (29), in their primate studies, induced obstruction of the nasal airway and generated morphological changes in dental and craniofacial parameters.…”
