Mouth Breathing & Open Mouth Posture
Promoting Proper Breathing, Day and Night.
When the mouth stays open at rest, it often leads to habitual mouth breathing, which can affect facial growth, oral health, sleep, and overall wellness. At MyoLink, we address the root causes of open mouth posture through gentle, effective therapy that promotes proper breathing and lasting healthy habits.
What Is Mouth Breathing & Open Mouth Posture?
Mouth breathing occurs when a person relies on breathing through the mouth instead of the nose, often becoming a long-term habit. Open mouth posture is when the mouth stays open at rest, even when not eating or speaking. These patterns may be caused by habits, allergies, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, or other anatomical issues. Left untreated, mouth breathing and open mouth posture can impact facial growth, oral health, sleep quality, and overall wellness.
