We all breathe, but the way we breathe has a major impact on our health, our posture, and even the alignment of our teeth. The difference between nasal and mouth breathing goes beyond comfort: it can determine the development of our face and body.

Nasal Breathing: The Natural Way

When we breathe through our noses, much more happens than just inhaling and exhaling.

Good tongue position – The tongue rests high on the roof of the mouth, providing stability and healthy jaw development.

Wider palate – Nasal breathing supports the natural development of a wider palate, creating more room for straight teeth.

Straight teeth – Because the tongue exerts pressure on the roof of the mouth, the teeth have more space and are more likely to be straight.

Good posture – Nasal breathing relaxes the neck and jaw muscles and contributes to an upright and stable posture.

In addition, the air in the nose is filtered, warmed, and humidified, better protecting the lungs and respiratory tract from dust and bacteria.
