Can the mouth, breath and face be corrected? We know that it is normal to breathe through the nose, but many people always breathe through the mouth, so long-term breathing through the mouth will produce many bad symptoms, especially affecting our appearance. Can the mouth, breath and face be corrected?

Can the mouth, breath and face be corrected? 1 oral breathing correction

After removing the space occupation of upper airway, most children who don't breathe with their mouths open for a long time can resume nasal breathing mode on their own. Children who breathe with their mouth open for a long time, because their temporomandibular joint muscles have adapted to this pathological state, even if the respiratory tract is unobstructed, patients will still breathe with their mouth open, because breathing with their mouth open has become a habit, and orthodontists need to intervene to restore the normal nasal breathing mode. Patients can be corrected by closed breathing training, lip muscle function training, sleep 1/2 mask or chin pocket, oral vestibular shield and other methods.

① Closed breathing training: that is, letting children consciously shut up and breathe during the day requires repeated reminders and supervision from parents and teachers.

② Labial muscle function training: the upper lip is upturned, the lower lip is everted, the lip is exposed, and the facial muscles are relaxed, all of which adapt to the changes of breathing with the mouth open. Upper respiratory tract space-occupying resection provides a basis for correcting this state. The function of orbicularis oris muscle can be improved by training, such as lip curling training, blowing soap bubbles, paper frogs, playing harmonica or wind instruments.

③ Sleep with 1/2 mask or chin pocket: 1/2 mask removes the part of normal mask that covers the nose, and the mask only covers the lips, so that children can sleep with this special mask to help correct breathing with their mouths open. You can use a thin mask at first, and then gradually use a thick mask after getting used to it. For children with big mouths, chin pockets can also be used to help close their mouths. Whether the upper respiratory tract is unobstructed enough can be roughly judged by the closed lip test:

Let the child close his lips or gently sip the lips of the sleeping child to see if the child can breathe smoothly or wake up without struggling, while keeping his lips pursed. If possible, children can accept 1/2 mask or vestibular shield to correct open mouth breathing.

④ Oral vestibule shield: an instrument for closing the oral vestibule, that is, an arc shield plate placed in the oral vestibule. The shield plate extends to the first molars on both sides, the front part is in contact with the maxillary incisors, and the rear part is 2 ~ 3 mm away from the posterior teeth, which is beneficial to the indentation of the incisors and the expansion of the posterior arch. In the center of the front of the guard plate, a steel wire ring can be used as a handle, which is convenient to take and wear. When you wear it for the first time, you can punch a few air holes in the shield, and then seal the air holes with self-setting plastic after the children get used to it. Children can wear it when sleeping during the day, and at the same time, they can wear vestibular shield for lip licking training, which is helpful to improve the function of labial muscles and correct tooth protrusion.

Can the mouth, breath and face be corrected? How to correct mouth, breath and face?

If you want to treat the face with mouth breathing, you first need to find out what is the cause of mouth breathing. If the child has a history of allergies or rhinitis, sinusitis or tonsillitis, he must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to find out the cause, so as to better prescribe the right medicine and help improve this bad habit. Usually try to correct the posture of the mouth, educate children how to breathe correctly, and go to a special stomatological hospital for orthodontics when necessary.

What if your mouth breathes and your chin shrinks?

If the symptoms of chin retraction are caused by oral breathing, it is best to do surgery to correct the teeth. If you do orthodontics, the problem of chin retraction will be solved. However, chin retraction is mainly a matter of living habits, so we can usually start with living habits, try to consciously control breathing with our nose, stick to it and see if we can correct it. After a long time, chin retraction will be solved.

If children have bad habits of oral breathing at an early age, they must be corrected in time. The younger the age of oral breathing correction, the better the effect will be on children. Parents must pay more attention to prevent some adverse developmental effects.

Can the mouth, breathing and face be corrected?

Whether the face without mouth breathing can be corrected in medicine may refer to the adenoid face caused by long-term mouth breathing. Due to long-term oral breathing, the maxilla will become longer, the dentition will be uneven, the upper incisors will protrude and the lips will be thick.

If the adenoid surface has been formed, it needs clinical treatment, and it can be corrected when it is not formed. In addition, to know the cause of mouth breathing, we must treat the disease first. Common induced diseases include adenoidal hypertrophy, acute rhinitis, cold and so on. Therefore, after eliminating the influence of the disease, it is still necessary to correct it. If you breathe with your mouth open because of bad habits, you can choose to correct yourself when you are young, which is relatively easy and may be completely recovered;

If facial skeletal muscle has developed and formed, it may be difficult to correct itself. Some patients can wear dental appliances under the guidance of doctors to help correct them. However, if the facial skeletal muscles have been deformed, dental correction and facial correction can be carried out with the help of professional doctors, but the cost is relatively high and the curative effect is not necessarily exact.

If the child's adenoids are large, he may have a stuffy nose and snore badly when sleeping at night. If necessary, they need to undergo surgery to remove adenoids to avoid the formation of adenoid faces. In addition, adenoids are more common in children. Since adenoids are caused by various inflammatory stimuli, parents should pay attention to observing their children's breathing and correct their children's oral breathing habits in time once they are found. If you have a cold, rhinitis and other diseases, you should treat them in time and let the nasal cavity ventilate, which will help prevent facial breathing.

Can oral breathing face be corrected? Long-term oral breathing, whether pathological or habitual, will have adverse effects on the normal growth and development of craniomaxillofacial region, which has been studied by orthodontists.

Children with oral breathing have narrow and long maxilla, high arch of palatal lid, shallow front teeth covered with HE and a tendency to open HE, crowded dentition, protruding front teeth, vertical facial growth, increased mandibular plane angle, decreased mandibular body length, increased mandibular angle and backward chin. At the same time, it was found that the length of bony nasopharynx was small and the minimum moment of glossopharyngeal was small. Correlation analysis also shows that the greater the proportion of mouth breathing, the more serious these symptoms are.

In short, apart from genetic factors, the longer the mouth breathes, the uglier the face. Eight years old is the peak age for children to go to stomatology after they grow adenoid faces. Three quarters of parents are unaware that their children have oral and respiratory problems. Parents usually suddenly find themselves "ugly" after their children change their teeth, that is, their children have adenoid faces, so they go to the stomatology department to find a "good prescription" to improve their faces.

In fact, instead of oral intervention in the mixed dentition period of 8-9 years old, it is better to prevent it at a younger age. If the child is breathing with his mouth open at the age of 3-5, he should pay attention to it and go to the otolaryngology department in time to determine the cause and carry out targeted treatment.
