Mouth breathing causes crooked teeth

Over time, children whose mouth breathing goes untreated may suffer from abnormal facial and dental development, such as elongated and narrow faces and mouths, gummy smiles, gingivitis and crooked teeth. Poor sleep habits resulting from mouth breathing can negatively affect growth, behaviour and academic performance.
In adults, chronic mouth breathing can cause bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. In addition to dry mouth, misaligned teeth, snoring, difficulty sleeping and fatigue. It can also worsen symptoms of other diseases.
