Breathe Well Mouth Strips (Kids)
WHAT IS MOUTH BREATHING?
A habit of inhaling and exhaling primarily through the mouth, allowing air to enter directly into the throat. Normally, the nose filters, warms and humidifies the air but mouth breathing bypasses the protective functions. It is often caused by nasal congestion, allergies, or structural issues such as enlarged adenoids.
RISK OF LONG FACE SYNDROME
It is a developmental condition where the face grows vertically rather than horizontally when a child engages in frequent mouth breathing.
It is characterized by a long, narrow face, crowded teeth, a high-arched palate, and a gummy smile. It often results in malocclusion, such as overbites/ open bites and underdeveloped jaw.
This condition is more critical to address in children than adults.
