However, <em>How a child breathes can make a difference to their oral health and facial development.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Why is it natural to breathe through the nose?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person breathes between <strong>10,000 and 12,000 liters of air per day<\/strong>. Although it may appear clean, this air contains dust, bacteria, viruses, and fungi.<br><strong>The nose is designed to filter, warm, and humidify that air<\/strong>, protecting the lungs and preventing infections. In contrast, the mouth lacks filtering cilia and its mucosa is designed for another function: feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">  What happens if a child breathes through their mouth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to several scientific meta-analyses, <strong>Habitually breathing through the mouth can alter the development of the skull and facial bones in children<\/strong>, causing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malocclusion (teeth do not fit together properly when closing the mouth)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in mandibular posture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain in the jaw joint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headaches and muscle tension in the neck and head<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And this doesn&#039;t just affect children!<\/strong> In adults, mouth breathing can also cause muscle imbalances, headaches, and even chronic fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">  How common is this problem?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the <strong>Oral Health Survey 2020<\/strong> published by the Journal of the Illustrious General Council of Colleges of Dentists and Stomatologists of Spain, <strong>More than 50% of 12-year-old children present with mild to severe malocclusion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">  The sooner we act, the better<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facial development occurs rapidly during childhood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To the <strong>4 years<\/strong>, a child has already developed <strong>60% of the adult craniofacial skeleton<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To the <strong>7 years<\/strong>, growth <strong>nasomaxillary is almost complete<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To the <strong>12 years old<\/strong>, he <strong>90% of facial growth<\/strong> It has already happened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">  <strong>Waiting is not an option<\/strong>.
