Mouth Breathing Habit and Their Effects on Dentofacial Growth in Children in the Age Range of 6-14 Years: A Cephalometric Study.

Unlabelled: Nasal breathing protects the upper airway and is responsible for adequate craniofacial development. It is believed that long-standing obstruction causes mouth breathing, which has a negative impact on the craniofacial complex.

Aim: The study aimed to verify the effects of mouth breathing on the dentofacial structure by employing cephalometric analysis.
