Prolonged overbreathing
Prolonged hyperventilation (for more than 24
hours) seems to sensitize the brain, leading to a
more prolonged hyperventilation.
Hyperventilation becomes habitual or long term, so
even when the primary cause is removed, the
behavior is maintained.
Hyperventilation Syndrome and Asthma, Dr Stephen Demeter
Every 1 mmHg
drop of arterial
CO2 reduces
blood flow to the
brain by 2%.

Davids story
On the boys fourteenth birthday, he
was given a gerbil as a present. Soon
after, his nose began to block,
causing him to breathe through his
mouth.
The most
important
orthodontic
appliance that
you all have and
carry with you
twenty-four
hours a day is
your tongue.
Dr Raymond Silkman
The tongue
People who breathe through their nose
normally have a tongue that postures up into
the maxilla (the top jaw). When the tongue
sits right up behind the front teeth, it is
maintaining the shape of the maxilla (top jaw)
every time you swallow.
Orthodontist Dr Raymond Silkman
The tongue
Every time the proper tongue swallow
motion takes place, it spreads up against
maxilla (top jaw), activating it and contributing
to that little cranial motion. Individuals who
breathe through their mouths have a lower
tongue posture and the maxilla does not
receive the stimulation from the tongue that it
should.
Orthodontist Dr Raymond Silkman
The tongue
There is no doubt that the tongue has an
enormous influence on dentition
Orthodontist Dr John Flutter
Many young
children have
beautifully
straight teeth
at the age of
five or six but
the teeth and
face can
quickly change
if they leave
their mouth
open
Dr Buteyko
Treat early
Dr Carl Schreiner, The deleterious effects of
nasal obstruction are virtually complete by
puberty so the window of opportunity is
relatively brief. Delay in intervention may
result in unsuccessful orthodontic treatment
which may require surgery at an older age.
Treat early
if mouth breathing is treated early, its negative
effect on facial and dental development and
the medical and social problems associated
with it can be reduced or averted.

Poor awareness
the vast majority of health care professionals
are unaware of the negative impact of upper
airway obstruction (mouth breathing) on
normal facial growth and physiologic health.
