Maintaining a healthy airway is key to proper breathing and structural balance. Efficient nasal breathing is crucial for optimizing oxygen intake, which supports overall health and lowers the risk of sleep-related breathing disorders and related health concerns. At Shoreline Orthodontics, our commitment to your well-being starts with a focus on airway health.
Nasal breathing is essential for children.
Nasal breathing is crucial for children’s development. It’s not only beneficial but essential for their growth, impacting facial development, dental alignment, and overall health. Breathing through the nose helps keep the airways open, supports proper facial structure, and reduces common respiratory issues. Moreover, children who primarily breathe through their noses are less likely to experience problems like sleep apnea and snoring and are at a lower risk for behavioral issues often associated with ADHD. Nasal breathing establishes a strong foundation for healthy growth and restorative sleep.
Research, including findings from the National Sleep Foundation, indicates that children with breathing difficulties such as snoring or mouth breathing face an increased risk of developing behavioral issues similar to ADHD. This underscores the vital connection between proper breathing and overall health.
