Why Chronic Mouth Breathing Can Change Your Face.
Research has shown that untreated habitual mouth breathing will lead to facial growth abnormalities, sleep disruptions and behavioural changes, particularly at an early stage of development. Keeping your mouth closed all night is obvious, but not easy if you are asleep, until now.
Mouth Breathing- A Major Sleep Disruptor!
Switching from nose breathing to breathing through the mouth during sleep is something everyone does. The problem is, if mouth breathing continues through the night it will affect your sleep and how you feel when you wake up. Snoring, dry mouth, sinus pressure & nasal congestion, sleep apnea, poor recovery and CPAP venting are all issues related to mouth breathing.
THE AMAZING HEALING POWER OF SLEEP
When we are asleep the brain doesn’t just go ‘offline’, instead it’s busy sorting and processing the day’s information and filing it away for later use. A good night’s sleep re-energises your body and clears waste from the brain, supports learning and memory and plays a vital role in regulating mood, appetite and libido to help you wake up refreshed to face the challenges of a new day.
TEETH ALIGNMENT AND GOOD SLEEP SHOULD BE MUTUALLY INCLUSIVE
Braces are great for straightening teeth, but pose a challenge to the patient’s experience predisposing those who wear braces to open their mouth and breathe through their mouth due to less oral space and compromised lip seal. Sleep quality diminishes as a result.
